McCaul Questions Secretary of State Mike Pompeo

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Michael McCaul (R-TX), Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee and a senior member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, questioned Secretary of State Mike Pompeo during his first appearance before the House Foreign Affairs Committee today.

McCaul questioning the Secretary on Iran:

"Mr. Secretary, you and I talked about the JCPOA when we were in the Congress together. We had concerns it did not address Iran's ballistic missile program, it didn't have ‘anywhere, anytime inspections,' and it did not address their sponsorship of terrorism. We know they have put up to $150 billion of sanctions relief into their terror operations and they continue to build a "Shia Crescent" throughout the Middle East.

"What is the likelihood that you will ever be able to reach an agreement with our European allies, the Saudis, and Iran moving forward?"

McCaul questioning the Secretary on North Korea:

"We all know that North Korea has a history of breaking their commitments to past deals with the United States. But you are one of the only American diplomats to meet with Kim Jong Un.

"From your experiences traveling to North Korea, what have you learned to demonstrate that this time could be different?"
