Donald Trump plans to meet Saturday with Mitt Romney, the Republican standard-bearer in 2012 and a vocal Trump critic earlier this year, who the president-elect now is considering for the job of Secretary of State, according to a transition official.
Romney joins a list of contenders to become the nation’s top diplomat that includes former UN ambassador John Bolton, South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, who also was critical of Trump during the campaign, and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, a top Trump surrogate.
