The tenors of the first Trump administration will not be part of the next American government despite rumors which already allocated the Pentagon to Mike Pompeo, former director of the CIA.
Contrary to the information that has been circulating since re-election as president of the United StatesDonald Trump will not solicit his former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, nor the United States Ambassador to the UN under his mandate Nikki Haley.
«I will not invite former Ambassador Nikka Haley or former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to join the Trump administration, which is still in training“, he wrote on his Truth Social network.
«I have greatly enjoyed and enjoyed working with them in the past and would like to thank them for the service they have provided to our country», added the Republican billionaire, matching his message with his slogan “Make America Great Again».

This “falcon» coming from the right wing of the Republican Party had quickly won the confidence of an inexperienced president on the international scene, while taking care not to overshadow him. He notably supported the withdrawal from the 2015 Iranian nuclear agreement and the unexpected rapprochement with North Korea.
