Pompeo slams Biden’s comment that he’s ‘not looking for a conflict’ with China

Published November 14, 2022 12:00am ET



Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo dismissed President Joe Biden‘s claim that he’s “not looking for a conflict” with China following the first in-person meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping of Biden’s presidency.

Pompeo claimed that relations between China and the United States have been tense for a decade, an analysis at odds with the president’s vow that he was “going to compete vigorously” but “not looking for conflict” with the Chinese.
