WASHINGTON, DC - Today, Congressman Warren Davidson released the following statement supporting Mike Pompeo.
 
“America needs a top diplomat who understands all the issues and Mike Pompeo is the right person for the job. I’m pleased to see he was confirmed today as Secretary of State.

“Mike Pompeo is unquestionably qualified. He has the experience to handle the destabilizing effect Russia is having across the spectrum of their actions: information warfare, hostile military actions in Ukraine, and complex alliances with American adversaries in the Mideast. While at the CIA, his secret meeting with the dictator of North Korea, Kim Jong-un, punctuated the confidence and trust that President Trump has in him as they prepare for a successful meeting with North Koreans.

“West Point teaches cadets that military force ought to be just, Constitutional, and a last resort - not a first option. Consequently, I’m confident Secretary Pompeo will work with our corps of diplomats to peaceably advance the national interests of our country. Lastly, but significantly, he will stand ready to skillfully support force, even war, should our enemies fail to pursue peace. Congratulations, Mr. Secretary.”
