Pompeo Makes First Big Move Since Trump Admin

Mike Pompeo, Secretary of State, Trump Administration

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has made his first major move since leaving the Trump administration last week. Pompeo is joining the Hudson Institute, a conservative think tank in Washington, D.C. as a distinguished fellow.

Fox News reports:

“I am pleased to be joining Hudson Institute and look forward to contributing to its mission of promoting American leadership and global engagement,” Pompeo said in a statement.

In a release, the Hudson Institute noted his work as America’s top diplomat on promoting religious freedom and human rights, while pushing back against China, North Korea, Russia and Iran.

“From his leadership in promoting peace between Israel and its Arab neighbors to confronting strategic threats to the United States, Secretary Pompeo has been among the most consequential secretaries of State,” said John Walters, president and CEO of Hudson Institute. “It is an honor to have this outstanding public servant join Hudson Institute.”

Pompeo was one of a number of Trump administration officials who was sanctioned by Beijing last week on the final day of the administration.

Yesterday, the Senate confirmed Anthony Blinken as Biden’s Secretary of State. [Related: China Imposes Sanctions on Trump Admin Officials]

Pompeo also officially endorsed former White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders in her run for Arkansas governor.
