Pompeo new foreign minister US

washington - CIA director Mike Pompeo is officially the new US Secretary of State. The American Senate has thus agreed to a majority.

Especially the Democrats in the Senate are worried about the appointment because Pompeo has a reputation of a hawk and in the past made negative statements about homosexuality and Islam. He also made several efforts to end the nuclear deal with Iran.

Pompeo succeeds Rex Tillerson. This was dismissed by Trump in March. The American president immediately announced that Pompeo would take over the post.
