Secretary of State Mike Pompeo dismissed concerns that the Trump administration’s family separations have marred America’s reputation, insisting that the world continues to see the U.S. as a “beacon of hope, democracy and freedom” in a Tuesday interview with CNN.
Asserting that America’s history as a humanitarian country will outweigh the separation optics, he said: “I have the amazing blessing of being the foreign minister for the most generous nation in the history of civilization.”
During the interview, Pompeo also downplayed the schism between America and Europe, calling it “most overrated.”
“There are so many things where we share common values and common concerns,” he said. “But in the end, the traditional value-driven alliance between Europe and the United States, that transatlantic alliance will remain strong as it has for coming on 70 years now.”
