Pompeo: U.S. Commitment to Saudi Arabia Is Vital to National Security
(State Department) U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Tuesday: "It's a mean, nasty world out there, the Middle East in particular. There are important American interests, to keep the American people safe, to protect Americans....It is the President's obligation - indeed, the State Department's duty as well - to ensure that we adopt policies that further America's national security. So...the United States will continue to have a relationship with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. They are an important partner of ours....This is a long, historic commitment, and one that is absolutely vital to America's national security."
