US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Sunday that the world “is a safer place today” following the elimination of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani.
“It’s very clear the world’s a safer place today. Qassem Soleimani no longer walks the planet. You know the history: hundreds of thousands of people in Syria, millions of refugees; Lebanon, Beirut, Syria, Iraq, Yemen; deaths to Americans in Iraq in the earlier war. This was a bad guy. We took him off the playing field,” Pompeo said in an interview with George Stephanopoulos on ABC News.
