Mike Pompeo au secrétariat d'État: une vision plus près de celle de Donald Trump


Le nouveau secrétaire d'état endosse pleinement le slogan "America first" de son patron et ses opinions sur le nucléaire iranien ou la Corée du Nord l'illustrent bien. On avance même que Pompeo serait beaucoup plus confortable dans son nouveau rôle qu'à la direction de la C.I.A..

 "Mr. Tillerson’s anticipated replacement, C.I.A. director Mike Pompeo, was among the harshest of critics of the 2015 nuclear agreement that world powers brokered with Iran. If confirmed, Mr. Pompeo would take over the State Department just as the president is weighing whether to ditch the deal altogether — even if it outrages European allies.

The move would also put Mr. Pompeo, who has been immersed in the details of Pyongyang’s nuclear program, in a central role in running the negotiations with Kim Jong-un, the North Korean dictator whom Mr. Trump has said he will meet by May.

For all the criticisms of Mr. Tillerson — and there were many, particularly in the State Department as he moved to slash its size — he was considered a restraining influence on Mr. Trump. Mr. Pompeo, in contrast, has been an enthusiastic defender of the president’s policies, to the point that many senior current and former C.I.A. officials worried that he was far too political for the job."
