Secretary Pompeo’s posts
Today, I reported to Congress that Hong Kong is no longer autonomous from China, given facts on the ground. The United States stands with the people of Hong Kong.
A few final thoughts: The United States of America is the greatest country in the history of civilization.
We never, ever paid to get our people home. Appeasement invites more hostage-taking. We restored America's credibility. No more phony "redlines" or pallets of cash to dictators and bullies. #Realism #AmericansFirst
In two days, we will undergo a transition of power. I hope America will stay the course and keep putting America First as we have the past 4 years. Follow me .
I have determined that the People’s Republic of China is committing genocide and crimes against humanity in Xinjiang, China, targeting Uyghur Muslims and members of other ethnic and religious minority groups.
We’re so much safer today than four years ago. Over the coming days, I’m going to lay out the mission set, the huge wins, personal stories, and a lot more. Just me, Mike.
One week from today, I will be stepping aside as Secretary of State and this account will be archived. Be sure to follow me . Go do it now.
We extend our deepest condolences to the people of India for the lives lost as a result of the recent confrontation with China. We will remember the soldiers' families, loved ones, and communities as they grieve.
Big challenges. Great team. Securing Americans’ freedom. #Swagger
Serving as your Secretary of State has been the honor of a lifetime. You can keep following me .
Treaties, like alliances, can outlast their sell-by-date. Always have to keep evaluating their usefulness.
Venezuela's electoral fraud has already been committed. The results announced by the illegitimate Maduro regime will not reflect the will of the Venezuelan people. What's happening today is a fraud and a sham, not an election.
Today is my 1000th day as America’s 70th Secretary of State. Each one has been a privilege to serve the American people. So many kind words from all across our nation – thank you all for your support and kindness. The Lord is watching over America and always will be.
Woke-ism, multiculturalism, all the -isms — they're not who America is. They distort our glorious founding and what this country is all about. Our enemies stoke these divisions because they know they make us weaker.
1619 Project has the history exactly backward. Our founding is not evil, it is noble. America was founded by visionaries who knew we'd always strive for a more perfect union.
Today, the Administration secured the release of two American hostages held captive by Houthis in Yemen. We join all Americans in welcoming their newly regained freedom.
I had productive meetings in Pyongyang with Chairman Kim Jong-un and made progress. I'm delighted to bring home three Americans.
This isn't the Cold War. This is something different. The China threat is already within our borders.
Today, I designated three senior officials of the Chinese Communist Party in Xinjiang for gross violations of human rights, making them and their immediate family members ineligible for entry into the United States.
My New Year’s Resolution: give the American people the full story about our foreign policy. You may not read it elsewhere.
I will never stop fighting for America First, even after my time as Secretary of State. There is always more work to be done and I look forward to continuing to share and engage with you on what's next. If you haven't already, please be sure to follow me .
In 26 hours, you’ll only be able to follow me . Serving as your Secretary of State has been a privilege and an honor. I’m immensely proud of the achievements we’ve had in the past four years.
No Administration has done more to bring lasting peace to the Middle East than that of President Trump.
There are consequences for interfering in the democratic process. Starting today, we are imposing visa restrictions on those involved in election interference in Tanzania. We remain committed to working together to advance democracy and mutual prosperity for both our countries.
The Chinese Communist Party is behaving in ways that fundamentally put the American people’s security at risk. The Administration is the first in decades to take this threat seriously.
The voice of the Iranian people is clear. They are fed up with the regime’s lies, corruption, ineptitude, and brutality of the IRGC under 's kleptocracy. We stand with the Iranian people who deserve a better future.
Today, the U.S. is designating 11 individuals responsible for the erosion of Hong Kong’s autonomy. We will not stand by while the people of Hong Kong suffer brutal oppression at the hands of the Chinese Communist Party or its enablers.
Looking forward to my upcoming travel on January 13-14 to Brussels, to reaffirm the deep and enduring partnership between the U.S. and Belgium.
God Bless America!

It has been an honor to serve as the U.S. Secretary of State. Today, as I step down from this role as our nation’s top diplomat, I am proud of what we achieved — and I promise to never stop fighting for America #AmericaFirst 
The Chinese Communist Party is a threat. The people of China are not. For 50 years, America bent its knee to China. Under the Trump Administration, no more.
America is a land of many freedoms - it’s what makes us the best country in the world. Even after I leave office, I will continue to do all I can to secure those freedoms. Follow me and join me.
Big challenges. Great team. Securing Americans’ freedom. #Swagger
Can't make sound policy without being honest about the threats we face.
Disinformation is not only coming from random actors around the world - but also from the Chinese Communist Party, Russia, and the Iranian regime. We must not permit these efforts to undermine our democracy, our freedom, and how we're responding to the Wuhan Virus.
Americans are the most generous people on the planet, hands down, and we always will be.
Per Senate impeachment Rule XXIII, “[u]pon pronouncing judgement, a certified copy of such judgement shall be deposited in the office of the Secretary of State.” Tonight, it was my pleasure to sign President ’s full acquittal.
The Chinese Communist Party’s callous attempts to exploit George Floyd’s tragic death for its own political gain will fail. During the best of times, Beijing ruthlessly imposes communism. Amid the most difficult challenges, the United States secures freedom.
The U.S. also declassified information on Iran's use of chemical weapons. #NoImpunity go.usa.gov/xA5q5
Wuhan Virus: CCP covered it up. CCP disappeared the doctors who knew. CCP still refuses to let the world in to see what it wrought. CCP lied about where the virus came from.
The CCP conducted espionage from its diplomatic facility in Houston, Texas? We closed it down. Not gonna happen on our watch.
I’ve not read the book, but from the excerpts I’ve seen published, John Bolton is spreading a number of lies, fully-spun half-truths, and outright falsehoods.
Let’s talk Iran. The men in these photos threaten America and Israel nearly every day.
Cuba’s continued support for terrorism in the Western Hemisphere must be stopped. Today the United States is returning Cuba to the State Sponsors of Terrorism list to hold the Castro regime accountable for its malign behavior.
Sending warm wishes to all those beginning their Christmas celebrations around the world. May the light of Christ fill your hearts.
The Paris Agreement is a fraud. Doesn't help the environment, gives world's biggest polluter (read: China) a pass. Trump Administration will never hoodwink the American people and pretend a bad deal is a good deal. #TruthMatters
We welcome the UK, Germany, and France's rejection of China's unlawful maritime claims in the South China Sea at the United Nations. China must abide by international norms. We join our allies in rejecting the idea that "might makes right.
No surprise that Taiwan mounted one of the most successful efforts to contain COVID to date. Transparent, vibrant, and innovative democracies like Taiwan always respond faster and more effectively to pandemics than authoritarian regimes. #TweetforTaiwan
Today, I significantly expanded metals-related sanctions targeting Iran’s nuclear, military, and ballistic missile programs. As long as the threats remain, sanctions should too.
This administration was straight with the American people: The CCP is a Marxist-Leninist party that has made clear its hostility to our values and way of life. go.usa.gov/xAQzt
There were two parties to the INF Treaty. President Obama risked American lives by restricting our military while Russia cheated and built up its systems. When only one party to a two-party treaty is complying, that’s called stupid.
What happens when China takes over a UN agency? Let's talk about the and the catastrophic failure of that agency to deal with #COVID19, just as they failed to deal with SARS. #ChinaLiedMillionsDied
The CCP’s draconian national security law ends free Hong Kong and exposes the Party’s greatest fear: the free will and free thinking of its own people.
I traveled to KSA, UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Morocco, and Sudan, all with one goal in mind: peace.
Happy birthday, President ! I am proud to serve under your strong leadership and wish you continued strength and fortitude as you continue to lead this great nation.
Our previous President unilaterally disarmed under the INF Treaty. We said “enough” and left the one-sided deal that made America defenseless. #AmericaFirst
It takes a team to turn the tide on the CCP. So many responsible for the good work. Here are just a few of them. Thank you all.
As part of our commitment to human dignity & #UnalienableRights, the entire Administration focused on ending the scourge of modern slavery.
Deeply troubled by Russia's decision to arrest Aleksey Navalny. Confident political leaders do not fear competing voices, nor see the need to commit violence against or wrongfully detain, political opponents.
Thank you to the men and women who have kept me, my family and our team safe these past four years. At both CIA and State, the professionals that do the work, plan security, and execute the mission are true warriors and heroes.
Remember this Middle East "expert"? He said it couldn't happen. We did it.
I’m deeply troubled by reports of the arrest of @JimmyLaiApple under Hong Kong’s draconian National Security Law. Further proof that the CCP has eviscerated Hong Kong’s freedoms and eroded the rights of its people.
China, the country where the virus originated and the pandemic was allowed to spread, has refused to share information to help the world respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.
As 's largest contributor, I put U.S. taxpayers and America's interests first. The UN without American Leadership = rampant anti-Semitism, CCP propaganda, waste/fraud/abuse. We can't afford to return to #MultilateralismAsUsual.
With the ink barely dry on the draconian National Security Law, HK authorities are now removing books from libraries, banning political slogans, and requiring censorship in schools. The U.S. condemns these Orwellian assaults on the rights and freedoms of the Hong Kong people.
We led the world in exposing the horrific abuses in Xinjiang. Imposed sanctions on CCP officials, halted imports of products made with forced labor, and so much more. When the world averts its eyes, America speaks up, and acts. #StandWithUyghurs go.usa.gov/xAUrk
The CCP is the central threat of our time. CCP authoritarianism isn't the future the free world wants ... but it's the future we'll have if we let our guard down again.
Big challenges. Great team. Securing Americans’ freedom. #Swagger
We have an unprecedented opportunity to change the course of history on the Korean Peninsula, but the outcome is unknown. However, one thing is certain: the Trump administration will not repeat the mistakes of the past. Our eyes are wide open and a bad deal is not an option.
Replying to
The duty to secure America First never ends.
Swagger (def.): To represent America with pride, humility, and professionalism. We've done it. #Swagger
The Chinese Communist Party's threats to restrict visas for U.S. citizens is the latest example of Beijing’s refusal to accept responsibility for breaking its commitment to the people of Hong Kong. We will not be deterred from taking action to respond.
The Chinese Communist Party is not the same as the Chinese people. We support the aspirations of the Chinese people to live free of the CCP's authoritarian rule. I made this clear in my Nixon Library speech. go.usa.gov/xAQMk
