Trump meets with Romney

Lesson Brief BBC Arabic
On November 19, BBC Arabic reported that President-Elect Trump met with his former rival and fiercest critic Mitt Romney to hold talks on a potential Secretary of State position. Romney described the talks as thorough and in-depth. The potential choice for Romney as Secretary of State came as a surprise to many given his intense criticism and comments about Trump during the election campaign, including statements that Trump was a fraud, anti-women, and that he does not have the temperament or insight to be president. The attached video is a previous Euronews report on Romney's statements in opposition of Trump. Suggested Set: Why Americans vote for Clinton or Trump Video Vocabulary:
