"He has ensured that the CCP spies posing as diplomats in America are jailed or sent back to China and he will not rest until justice is done. He has ended the ridiculously unfair trade deal with China--that has punched a hole in our economy. Those jobs are coming back home," Pompeo added.

Pompeo further said that Trump "lowered the temperature" and brought North Korean Leadership to the table.

"In North Korea, the President lowered the temperature and bought the North Korean Leadership to the table. No nuclear tests, no long-range missile test, and Americans who remained captive in North Korea came home to their families as did the precious remains of scores of heroes who fought in Korea," he said.

Pompeo further hailed Trump for moving the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem in May 2018. "The President moved the embassy to the city of God, Jerusalem, the rightful capital of the Jewish homeland," he added. (ANI)
