Who relied more on Welles than the official Secretary of State?

  • President Franklin D. Roosevelt

  • President Calvin Coolidge

  • President Woodrow Wilson

  • President Herbert Hoover

Answer

President Franklin D. Roosevelt relied more on Welles than the official Secretary of State, Cordell Hull. This was because Welles was more in tune with Roosevelt's thinking and was more willing to take risks. Hull, on the other hand, was more cautious and conservative. As a result, Welles played a more important role in the formulation of foreign policy during the Roosevelt administration.
