Pompeo: ‘We can’t trust the Biden administration’
By Nolan Mckendry | The Center Square
(Worthy News) – Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo spoke at the Republican National Convention on Thursday, contrasting American foreign policy between the Trump and Biden administrations.
Under the Trump administration, “there were no new American wars. Our southern border? Closed. We destroyed ISIS.”
Pompeo boasted about the foreign policy of the Trump administration, differentiating between Biden’s policies on Israel, Russia, and the Middle East.
Pompeo cited the disastrous exit from Afghanistan as emboldening American adversaries and worsening the perception of American strength.
“It was that very weakness we saw in Afghanistan that prompted Putin’s butchery in Ukraine,” Pompeo said. “President [Joe] Biden and Vice President [Kamala] Harris are providing appeasement to the pro-Hamas radicals on our streets, here in the United States.”
“I saw how the world always looks to our nation, as the unrivaled example of what a free society looks like,” Pompeo said.
Republicans have been upset with the Biden administration’s foreign policy. On Wednesday, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said the world is “teetering on the edge of World War III.”
“When Joe Biden eased up on President Trump’s Maximum-Pressure Campaign, we gave money to the Ayatollah, so that he could cut more checks to the genocidal maniacs, to conduct more attacks on Israel,” Gingrich said.
“President Biden talks a big game about American values, but what has he shown the world? He has censored free speech. He has put ‘woke’ into our military. We can’t trust the Biden administration,” Pompeo said. “I saw it firsthand; Donald Trump will put America first. Let’s elect a president who isn’t ashamed of our nation, and who will never apologize for our country.”
