President Donald Trump has revoked the security detail for his former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who had received ongoing protection due to threats from Iran after taking a hardline policy toward the country during Trump’s first administration, three sources familiar with the move told CNN.
三名知情人士告訴CNN,唐納德·特朗普總統撤銷了前國務卿邁克·蓬佩奧的安保人員,蓬佩奧在特朗普第一任政府對伊朗采取強硬政策后,由于受到伊朗的威脅,一直得到保護。
The decision to strip Pompeo of his State Department security detail, first reported by The New York Times, comes shortly after Trump terminated the Secret Service detail that was assigned to his former national security adviser John Bolton.
《紐約時報》最先報道了蓬佩奧被解除國務院安全職務的決定。此前不久,特朗普終止了分配給前國家安全顧問約翰·博爾頓的特勤局安保人員。
Pompeo was deeply involved in shaping the first Trump administration’s policy toward Iran and played in a role in Trump’s order to assassinate top Iranian military commander Qasem Soleimani in early 2020.
在特朗普的第一屆總統任期內,蓬佩奧和胡克積極采取了針對伊朗的強硬立場,其中包括在2020年初通過無人機襲擊殺死了伊朗高級將領蘇萊曼尼。
When Trump was asked by reporters on Thursday about the stripping of security from former officials, he said, “When you have protection, you can’t have it for the rest of your life.” He added, “You don’t want a large detail of people guarding people the rest of their lives. I mean there are risks to everything.”
特朗普在橢圓形辦公室簽署行政命令時告訴記者:“你有安保,但你不可能一輩子都這樣。你想讓一大群人終生守護嗎?一切都有風險。”
