Mike Pompeo

We are deeply worried about what is taking place as a result of the sham election that occurred on Sunday the 20th.

They need more clarity on what Kim is willing to put on the table that will hold the key.

We have a real responsibility to try and get that right.

If we can continue to see progress I would love to see us be able to rescind that.

I will work with members from both sides of the aisle to achieve America's foreign objectives.

Know that the plight of Mr. Holt is on our minds and we are doing the things we can with the tools we can to encourage the Maduro regime to at least, in this one instance, do something right and send this fellow back.

To work with the handful of willing partners we have in Syria to create the conditions to first take down the level of violence so that the Syrian people have a chance.

I am counting on the partnership with this committee on both sides of the aisle.

It's time for other nations, especially those with high GDPs, to assume greater responsibilities and devote greater resources toward our common objectives.

I am very worried about that.

On Venezuela, we have imposed new economic pressure on the Maduro regime to help steer that country back toward democracy.

We cannot sacrifice the interests of the American people and our economic competitiveness.

We know Russia poses a challenge to our strategic interests and the security of our allies.

We will apply financial pressure, coordinate with our DoD colleagues on deterrence efforts, support the Iranian people, and hold out the prospect of a new deal for Iran--if it changes its behavior.

We must continue to work with President Abdelfattah al-Sisi to advance our strategic partnership and address our common challenges, while emphasizing respect for, and protection of, basic rights and freedoms.

Preventing terrorist attacks against the homeland and ending the conflict in Yemen are key components of our national security interests with respect to Yemen.

The Administration has consistently emphasized the importance of a political settlement, but the differences between the parties to the conflict must be resolved directly.

I support the President's decision to create conditions so that the President and Kim Jong Un can sit together to begin to resolve this incredibly difficult challenge.

If confirmed, I will support diplomatic engagement and foreign assistance programs as a part of the U.S. Strategy for Central America.

The United States strongly supports Colombia's efforts to secure a just and lasting peace.

If confirmed, I will support the Administration's efforts to support the maternal health and family planning needs of women around the world.

If confirmed, I will stress the importance for the countries engaged in these conflicts to develop the policies and programs necessary.

The United States expects our allies to be strong partners.

If confirmed, I will advocate that governments have an obligation to protect, respect, and uphold the dignity and fundamental freedoms of all people--including women and LGBTI persons.

I am committed to the advancement of democracy and human rights around the globe.
