Kerry to divest some holdings if confirmed as secretary of state
Senator John Kerry and his wife intend to divest holdings in dozens of companies, including oil company Exxon Mobil Corp and drug maker Pfizer Inc, to avoid conflicts of interest if he is confirmed as US secretary of state.
US Secretary of State John Kerry on Thursday warned against Russian missiles sales to Syria saying it would be ``destabilising'' to the region as he seeks to build diplomatic efforts to end the bloody conflict.
