Pompeo Says He's Ready To Push Back Against Kremlin

U.S. President Donald Trump's choice to become his new top diplomat said he is ready to push back against Russia. Speaking at his Senate confirmation hearing on April 12, Mike Pompeo said he would seek to "reset the deterrence relationship" with the Kremlin if confirmed as Secretary of State. Trump chose Pompeo, the current director of the Central Intelligence Agency, after he fired Secretary of State Rex Tillerson last month, saying they disagreed over policies.
