Mike Pompeo
Former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo criticized the foreign policy speech previously delivered by US President Joseph Biden. Pompeo questioned that the States should return to the decisions of the presidency of Barack Obama, on the air of the FOX television channel.
The criticism was caused by Biden's statement that “America is back.” “Back to what? By the time IS (a terrorist group banned in the Russian Federation – approx. “Lenta.ru” ) controlled a caliphate the size of Britain in Syria? I hope not. [Former] President [Donald] Trump and our team are done with this, ”Pompeo said.
He also recalled that before Trump became president, China “did what it pleased” with the United States and put millions of Americans out of jobs in Kansas, South Carolina and other states.
In addition, Pompeo noted, Barack Obama's policy included “treating terrorists in Iran as friends and giving them $ 150 million in cash.” “I don’t think that the American people can afford another eight years of Barack Obama’s policy,” the politician concluded.
Earlier, White House spokesman Jen Psaki said that Joe Biden would reconsider relations with China. “All the steps that were taken by the previous administration are currently being reviewed in terms of our approach to national security,” said Psaki. Thus, the revision came, in particular, a trade deal with China, concluded by former President Donald Trump.
