Defense and national security experts are raising concerns over Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s remarks Tuesday, promising “a smooth transition to a second Trump administration.”
His words were seen as anti-Democratic and contrary to the rule of law in what many still believe is the greatest democracy in the world.
Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power called Pompeo’s comment “incredibly reckless, dangerous, and damaging to US security.”
