US Secretary of State welcomed to New Zealand with 'a display of middle fingers'

New Zealand is flush with fascinating birds, but perhaps Rex Tillerson didn't expect to see this particular kind.

The visiting U.S. Secretary of State landed in the city of Wellington on Tuesday, and according to reports, there were plenty of middle fingers being flipped at the American motorcade.

"I've been in motorcades for a couple of years now ... I've never seen so many people flip the bird at an American motorcade as I saw today," according to New York Times' correspondent Gardiner Harris, who spoke to Stuff.

Tillerson is in the country as an add-on to his recent trip to Australia, and is the first senior member of the Trump administration to visit the country.

He later spoke to allay local fears the U.S. is becoming more isolationist, as evidenced in its withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement and the Trans-Pacific Partnership, or that Trump is "unpredictable," according to the New Zealand Herald.

This is the same country where protesters have been throwing inflated condoms at a Trump effigy and earlier this year someone threw a dildo in a politician's face.

Thwack.
