Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Thursday warned that the move by China to sanction him, as well as other former Trump administration officials, is sending a message to the Biden administration.
“The sanctions that took place were intended to do a single thing, it was to send a message to the next administration, the Biden administration, that says if you’re serious about protecting America, American sovereignty, American jobs, American wealth …you will be punished,” he said on “Mornings With Maria.”
“And so they were trying to send a message to the current secretary of state, the national security adviser, saying ‘careful, don’t do the right thing for America, don’t protect Americans, if you do you will personally be punished,’” he added.
