US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said during his speech at the Republican National Convention on Tuesday night that he believes President Trump "has led bold initiatives in nearly every corner of the world" that have kept the US safe.
"The primary Constitutional function of the national government is ensuring your family — and mine — are safe and enjoy the freedom to live, work, learn and worship as they choose," Pompeo said in the speech, which was recorded during his visit to Jerusalem.
"It may not have made him popular in every foreign capital, but it has worked. Delivering on this duty to keep us safe and our freedoms intact, this President has led bold initiatives in nearly every corner of the world," continued the Secretary of State.
"The President has held China accountable for covering up the China virus and allowing it to spread death and economic destruction in America and around the world, and he will not rest until justice is done."
“He has ensured that Chinese Communist Party spies posing as diplomats are jailed or sent back to China; and he has ended ridiculously unfair trade deals with China that punched a hole in our economy. Those jobs are coming back home.”
"You will all recall that when the President took office, radical Islamic terrorists had beheaded Americans and ISIS-controlled a territory the size of Great Britain. Today, because of the President’s determination and leadership, the ISIS caliphate is wiped out, its evil leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is dead," said Pompeo.
He noted that the President "lowered the temperature and, against all odds, got North Korean leadership to the table. No nuclear tests, no long-range missile tests and Americans held captive in North Korea came home to their families as did the precious remains of scores of our heroes who fought in Korea."
Pompeo added that Trump "exited the US from the disastrous nuclear deal with Iran and squeezed the Ayatollah, Hezbollah and Hamas."
