Press Releases: Interview With Adam Boulton of Sky News Interview Michael R. Pompeo Secretary of State Lancaster House London, United Kingdom May 8, 2019 QUESTION: Secretary of State, some politicians – both English and American, or British and American – are rather coy about using that phrase, special events – our Special Relationship. But you dropped right in talking about a truly Special Relationship. What does that mean to you? SECRETARY POMPEO: So I’ve read the books, the history books. I know of the greatness that our two nations have achieved together. I know our history where we parted as well, but it has been a remarkable last couple hundred years where we have achieved great outcomes in two world wars. In the battles of today, we work alongside each other in Afghanistan and in Syria. These are important undertakings, we have deep commercial ties, and I know of no other nation that has this unique, Special Relationship that is lasting and as special as the one t...

I’m delighted to welcome Secretary Mike Pompeo to the foreign office for his first bilateral visit to Britain, and it is a privilege to reaffirm the strength of the friendship between our two countries.

Press Releases: Asia Bibi Reunited With Her Family  Press Statement Michael R. Pompeo Secretary of State Washington, DC May 8, 2019 The United States welcomes the news that Asia Bibi has safely reunited with her family. This important step follows the decision of Pakistan’s Supreme Court to acquit her of blasphemy charges in October 2018 – a decision that was subsequently upheld in January 2019. Asia Bibi is now free, and we wish her and her family all the best following their reunification. The United States uniformly opposes blasphemy laws anywhere in the world, as they jeopardize the exercise of fundamental freedoms.

Press Releases: Remarks to Traveling Press Remarks Michael R. Pompeo Secretary of State ERT Baghdad, Iraq May 7, 2019 SECRETARY POMPEO: So a couple things. I actually just spoke with Foreign Minister Maas, telling him that I regret that we couldn’t make the meeting with both he and Chancellor Merkel. He understood completely. He also knows that our relationship with Iraq is important, and we’re partners in the challenges that Iran presents to Germany and to Europe as well. You’ll recall they arrested Qods Force folks not too terribly long in Germany, so he was actually happy that I was going. I promised him I’d reschedule it; we’d get it set as soon as we possibly could. He was most gracious. So the reason we’re going is you’ve all seen the reports that there have been escalating – information that indicates that Iran is escalating their activity. I wanted to go to Baghdad to speak with the leadership there, to assure them that we stood ready to continue to ensure that Ira...

May 5, 2019 QUESTION: And joining us now, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. Mr. Secretary, welcome back to Fox News Sunday. SECRETARY POMPEO: Chris, it’s great to be with you this morning. QUESTION: Let’s start with Venezuela. On Tuesday, you and National Security Advisor John Bolton were talking as if a coup in Caracas was underway. Take a look: “ MR BOLTON: They need to be able to act this afternoon or this evening to help bring other military forces to the side of the interim president.” QUESTION: What happened? Was there an intelligence failure about whether or not some top Venezuelan officials were going to flip on Maduro? SECRETARY POMPEO: Well, first of all, Chris, there can’t be a coup led by Juan Guaido. He is the elected leader of Venezuela, duly elected through their constitutional process, so there couldn’t have been a coup ther...
