'Almost with appointment Pompeo as Minister of Foreign Affairs'

washington - Mitch McConnell, the most powerful Republican in the US Senate, wants to be speeded up with the appointment of Mike Pompeo as the new foreign minister. This boss of the CIA has been elected by President Donald Trump as successor to the dismissed Rex Tillerson. His position at the intelligence service is taken over by Gina Haspel.

'Both nominees seem more than suitable for this. We therefore hope that they do not have to deal with unnecessary delays. That would be a huge problem again, 'according to party leader McConnell, who urged his colleagues to get quick approval. Republican senators have said they will bow to the presentation of Pompeo and Haspel next month.
