Pompeo: Europe not being as ‘helpful’ as they could be over Soleimani killing

Published January 4, 2020 4:29pm ET



Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the European allies of the United States have been less understanding than he had hoped about the killing of Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani.

“I spent the last day and a half, two days, talking to partners in the region, sharing with them what we were doing, why we were doing it, seeking their assistance, they’ve all been fantastic. And then talking to our partners in other places that haven’t been quite as good. Frankly, the Europeans haven’t been as helpful as I wish that they could be,” Pompeo told Fox News host Sean Hannity on Friday.
