Mike Pompeo

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

Not a single dollar will be reduced in terms of spending, and we will make sure that those dollars go to the right place and that not one dollar of taxpayer funding goes to the tragedy of abortion around the world.

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

I am proud of what this Administration has done in Iraq.

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

This Administration is determined. This crisis, this opioid crisis is real. It is tragic.

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

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.

Language used by Members of Congress matters.

There is no evidence that there is any value in speaking with Maduro at this time. His time has come; his time has gone. It is time for him to leave.

The Maduro regime's destruction of the economy in Venezuela is not as a result of the sanctions that the United States has put in place over the last months.

Allowing Maduro to continue will have as its primary negative outcome continued destruction of the Venezuelan economy and real hardship for the Venezuelan people.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.
