Pompeo accuses Biden administration of threatening US security by prioritizing climate change

Published



Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo accused President Joe Biden of making the United States more susceptible to foreign threats, denouncing his policies as “gaslighting” voters by folding in provisions to address climate change instead of focusing on more pressing issues.

Instead of calming the worsening economy, Pompeo accused the White House of passing the Inflation Reduction Act as a way to “conceal the Biden administration’s real priority” by including historic investments to curb the effects of climate change. The former secretary of state pointed to Biden’s comments at the 2022 United Nations Climate Change Conference, where the president touted the legislation as the “biggest, most important climate bill in the history of our country.”
