Mike Pompeo

You have addressed the truth that we have exhausted tremendous treasure and lost far too many sons and daughters of the United States of America in our 18 years of war.

I believe the policy we have makes America infinitely safer today, next week, and for our children and grandchildren.

I do not want the United States to be in a foreign country any more than we have to, but pulling out of Syria would be a betrayal to the Kurds, our faithful allies for many, many years; saved American lives.

We will support the people of Venezuela as they work toward a peaceful restoration of their democracy.

You have addressed the truth about the people crossing our border illegally on our southern border.

And we do not allow nations like Iran, who threaten to kill us, who would be more than happy to slit the throat of every person in this room, we do not give them access to weapons of mass destruction.

You addressed the truth that China has been ripping us off year after year, penalizing our goods, stealing our ideas, stealing our intellectual property, and said that that is not going to happen any further.

I commend the President for supporting the people of Venezuela in their quest to take back their country through free and fair elections.

Language used by Members of Congress matters.

I think that is your goal. It is certainly mine.

I want every employee at the Department of State treated with the dignity that they deserve because of their humanness.

Our plentiful oil supplies allow us to help our friends secure diversity in their energy resources.

We will continue to work to identify those who are responsible for Jamal Khashoggi's murder and hold them accountable.

When we supported Venezuelan democracy, we built out an enormous coalition.

I hope everyone who cares about the people of Yemen understand that the legislation that passed did not remotely benefit them.

We have along with the Europeans made very clear that we will not provide reconstruction dollars to areas that are under the control of the Assad regime.

It is not retreat. The previous administration invited the Russians into Syria.

We are incredibly focused on it, we are going to stay at it, and I am confident that the Iranian people will be the ultimate beneficiaries of the work we are doing.

I have read every piece of intelligence in the possession of the United States government. And when it is done, when you complete that analysis, there is no direct evidence linking him to the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.

We are actively pressing for credible elections in December 2018, as now scheduled, leading to a democratic transition that is key to averting violence and strengthening long-term stability and development.

I was asked to be here, and here I am.

They made clear to me that they too understand the serious nature of the disappearance of Mr. Khashoggi. They also assured me that they will conduct a complete, thorough investigation of all of the facts surrounding Mr. Khashoggi and that…

He has to own this situation, that eventually all the facts will come out and that even if MBS didn't know about the plot ahead of time, that he has to own this situation.

He had to own the facts of Jamal Khashoggi's disappearance and apparent murder.

my assessment from these meetings is that there is a serious commitment to determine all of the facts and insure accountability, including accountability for Saudi Arabia's senior leaders.
