WALLACE: Does that make it harder for you to push American values around the world when some foreign leaders question president's values?
REX TILLERSON, SECRETARY OF STATE: Chris, we express America's values from the State Department. We represent the American people. We represent America's values, our commitment to freedom, our commitment to equal treatment to people the world over. And that message has never changed.
WALLACE: And when the president gets into the kind of controversy he does and the U.N. committee response the way it does, it seems to say they begin to doubt are -- whether we're living those values.
TILLERSON: I don't believe anyone doubts the American people's values or the commitment of the American government or the government's agencies to advancing those values and defending those values.
WALLACE: And the presidents values?
TILLERSON: The president speaks for himself, Chris.
WALLACE: Are you separating yourself from that, sir?
TILLERSON: I've spoken – I've made my own comments as to our vales as well in a speech I gave to the State Department this past week.
WALLACE: Mr. Secretary, thank you. Thanks for coming today. Always a pleasure to talk with you, sir.
TILLERSON: My pleasure, Chris.
WALLACE: Stay safe.
