Pompeo said, “If confirmed, I look forward to guiding the world’s finest diplomatic corps in formulating and executing the President’s foreign policy. In my time as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, I have worked alongside many remarkable Foreign Service officers and Department of State leaders serving here in the United States and on the very edge of freedom.”[10]

Hearing

Pompeo testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on April 12, 2018.[12]

During the hearing, he was asked about the Iran nuclear deal, North Korea, religion, and Russia. His responses appear below.

  • Pompeo on the Iran nuclear deal: Pompeo said he supported fixing the Iran nuclear deal or withdrawing by May 12, 2018. Pompeo said, “In the event that we conclude that we can’t fix this deal, that these serious shortcomings that you, Sen. Cardin, yourself have identified, then the president is going to be given best advice including by me, and if there’s no chance that we can fix it, I will recommend to the president that we do our level best to work with our allies to achieve a better outcome and a better deal. Even after May 12.”[13]
  • Pompeo on regime change in North Korea: “I have never advocated for regime change. I am not advocating for regime change. … Just to be clear, my role as a diplomat is to make sure that we never get to a place where we have to confront the difficult situation in Korea that this country has been head for now for a couple of decades.”[14]
  • Pompeo on a potential conversation between Trump and Kim: "I’m optimistic that the United States government can set the conditions for that appropriately so that the president and the North Korean leader can have that conversation [that] will set us down the course of achieving a diplomatic outcome that America so desperately—America and the world so desperately need."[15]
  • Pompeo on religion: Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) asked Pompeo if he believed that people worshipping gods other than the God of Christianity was a negative thing. Pompeo said that his record showed he has treated people of “each and every faith with the dignity they deserve.” Booker “also asked Pompeo whether he believes that Muslims who fail to speak out against extremist violence are complicit in that violence,” according to The Hill. Pompeo said, “For certain places, for certain forms of violence, there are some who are better positioned — folks who are more credible, more trustworthy, have a more shared experience — and so when it comes to making sure that we don’t have a terrorist brewing in places where Muslims congregate, there’s a special place — they have an opportunity. It’s more than a duty, it’s an opportunity.”[16]
  • Pompeo on Russia: Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) asked Pompeo if he agreed with a tweet sent by Trump in which he wrote that "much of the bad blood with Russia is caused by the Fake & Corrupt Russia Investigation, headed up by the all Democrat loyalists, or people that worked for Obama." Pompeo said, "The historic conflict between the U.S. and the USSR, and now Russia, is caused by Russian bad behavior."[17]

C.I.A. Director (2017-2018)

President-elect Trump announced that he would nominate Pompeo to be the next director of the CIA on November 18, 2016. The Senate confirmed Pompeo on January 23, 2017, by a vote of 66-32.[18][5][19] He served as director until President Trump named him to replace Rex Tillerson as next Secretary of State on March 13, 2018.[9]

U.S. House of Representatives (2011-2017)

Analysis

Campaign themes

2016

The following issues were listed on Pompeo's campaign website. For a full list of campaign themes, click here.

“
  • Immigration: The Obama Administration is failing at keeping our nation safe by ensuring that we control who enters our country. We must start by enforcing current law – thus preventing the vast majority of the illegal immigration that puts our nation at risk today. We will then need to increase the security along the U.S. border with Mexico. We also need to increase the security on all fronts, including airports and seaports. We must never forget that there are people in this world who still want to kill Americans and wreak havoc within our great country.
  • Healthcare: The passage of Obamacare set us down a path that will deeply change the relationship between our government and its citizens. I am proud to have voted for the complete repeal of Obamacare. A replacement for it will lead our nation to a healthcare system guided by the real needs of doctors and the patients they serve – not insurers, not the federal government and not a bureaucracy that today parcels out healthcare to those it deems worthy.
  • Job Growth: As your congressman, I have tirelessly fought for private sector job growth here in America. For years, the federal government has stood in the way of new jobs through needless regulations, more mandates, and wasteful spending that prop up special interests and creates unfair competition with the private sector. Instead, I have stood up for the rights of entrepreneurs and small business owners to cut the regulatory red tape that has strangled their growth. I will continue to work hard to encourage companies of all sizes to keep jobs in America.
  • Strong National Defense: We cannot stick our head in the sand and ignore the fact that countries with unstable leadership like Iran and North Korea are expanding their nuclear capabilities. Terrorists continue to seek a way to destroy the American way of life. And instead of standing with Israel and other long-standing allies, the Obama Administration has far too often bowed to our enemies and capitulated to those that seek to do us harm.
  • Taxes: I have consistently and unrelentingly fought every attempt to raise your taxes. I understand that the best way to stimulate our economy and provide more jobs is to lower the burden that places on our families and businesses.

See also: Federal policy on Iran, 2017-2020

After withdrawal from the JCPOA in May of 2018, Pompeo announced the United State’s desire to “1. Apply the strongest possible financial pressure; 2. Deter any Iranian aggression; 3. Advocate for Iranian people; 4. Seek bold new steps with not only our allies & partners, but with Iran as well.”[105] Pompeo said that the U.S. would be working to eliminate threats from Iran by building a global effort to increase sanctions and to end Iran’s terrorist activities throughout the world.[106] He also reiterated the United State’s position that Iran is “the greatest sponsor of terrorism in the world, and we are determined to make sure it never possesses a nuclear weapon. The Iran deal in its current form does not provide that assurance."[104]

Reaffirmation of U.S. commitment to NATO (2018)

Ahead of President Trump’s meeting with Kim Jong-un, Pompeo discussed the U.S.' goals for the meeting and the relationship with North Korea. He said, "In light of how many flimsy agreements the United States has made in previous years, this President will ensure that no potential agreement will fail to adequately address the North Korean threat. The ultimate objective we seek from diplomacy with North Korea has not changed. The complete and verifiable and irreversible denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula is the only outcome that the United States will accept.”[108] He said that “President Trump is hopeful, but he’s also going into the summit with his eyes wide open. …The President recognizes that North Korea has great potential, and he looks forward to a day when sanctions on the DPRK can begin to be removed. However, that cannot happen until the DPRK completely and verifiably eliminates its weapons of mass destruction programs.”[109]

Assasination of Iranian Qasem Soleimani (2020)

Pompeo was influential in President Trump’s decision to have Iranian general Qassem Soleimani killed by drone strike in January 2020.[110][111] According to the Pentagon, Soleimani was “responsible for ‘the deaths of hundreds of American and coalition service members and the wounding of thousands more."[112] Pompeo later said the strike was ordered upon evidence that “Soleimani was engaged in a plot to kill another 500 Americans.”[113]
