President-elect Donald Trump will announce on Tuesday that he’s chosen Exxon Mobil CEO Rex Tillerson as his secretary of state, according to reports.

Trump tweeted Monday that he would make an official announcement about his choice on Tuesday morning. The Associated Press and The New York Times report Tillerson is Trump’s pick.

Trump met with Tillerson in New York City on Saturday. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov on Monday praised Tillerson, who has ties to Russia. Peskov said the CEO acted “highly professional” while working previously with Kremlin representatives on oil company business.

Peskov said Tillerson, who’s been Exxon’s CEO since 2006, has met with Russian President Vladimir Putin “several times.” Putin awarded Tillerson the country’s Order of Friendship in 2013.
