Pompeo: Trump Reversed Course After a Decade of American Leaders Letting China ‘Walk All Over Us’

TRANSCRIPT:

POMPEO: "When this administration came in to being in 2017, the previous decade that allowed Communist Chinese Party to walk all over us, destroying millions of jobs here in the United States and costing us a fortune, President Trump reversed that. And so in every dimension, whether it’s the economic matters that the President was speaking about, whether it’s our capacity to defend America against the Chinese military threat or our efforts just to make sure that American citizens are treated appropriately by the Chinese Communist Party, this president has taken that responsibility seriously and that authoritarian regime, General Secretary Xi’s authoritarian regime understands now that we have a president prepared to make sure that American and America are treated fairly and that we're protecting our national security."
