In a recent discussion at Harvard Kennedy School, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo reflected on U.S. foreign policy, citing concerns over America's diminishing leadership in global democracy. He shared insights from his diplomatic experience, particularly regarding the Abraham Accords, which normalized relations between Israel and several Arab nations. Key to these negotiations, Pompeo noted, were unwavering support for Israel, condemnation of Iran as a disruptive force, and reassurances to Gulf nations about U.S. commitment to their security. He also defended his ties to Saudi Arabia despite human rights controversies.
Pompeo emphasized that the U.S. must maintain its leadership role globally, stating, 'There is no other nation that can be the champion of global democracy if America steps back.'
Discussing the Abraham Accords, Pompeo highlighted three key elements: 'Show unwavering support for Israel, present Iran as a bad actor, and assure Gulf nations of U.S. support.'
