How is Mike Pompeo changing the State Department? (Nahal Toosi)

from TrumpWatch with Jesse Lent · host WBAI 99.5fm, New York City's Pacifica radio station

It’s been nearly two months since former CIA director and Kansas congressman Mike Pompeo was sworn in as the 70th secretary of state. Though the general sentiment at the State Department may be that he is an improvement from his inexperienced predecessor Rex Tillerson, according to a June 25 report by Nahal Toosi, foreign affairs correspondent for POLITICO,  Pompeo’s role representing the US internationally may not be as much of a step up as initially thought. On this week's TrumpWatch, Nahal explains why many career diplomats have been troubled by the former U.S. Army officer’s actions in his short time helming the State Department.
