The only problem there being that U.S. media, which typically just cuts-and-pastes Argentine-related stories from Clarín and/or La Nación, have no idea of that either (it goes without saying that if Faurie had been a Kirchner appointee, his 2002 scandal would have been part of the headline itself).

Oh, well. At least he won't make Rex Tillerson look bad.
