Two missions: first, to hold accountable the parties responsible for the deaths here in the United States and the enormous economic costs that have been posed on the United States and frankly, you talk about the international implications. SECRETARY POMPEO: Ben, you’ve got both of those facts right. What sort of measures should the United States be looking to take in the future to either seek recompense from the Chinese Government or to protect ourselves from future situations like this? Five million citizens left Wuhan province while apparently they knew that this thing was spreading. They knew there was human-to-human transmission weeks before they informed the rest of the world of this. So China is in large part responsible for the spread of this virus. Well, we’re all focused obviously on locking down and staying safe and trying to follow all the guidelines with regard to social distancing, but we’ve seen incredible turmoil internationally. We’ve seen tremendous turmoil globally in the midst of all of this. So Secretary Pompeo, let’s talk a little bit about the foreign policy angle on all of this. SECRETARY POMPEO: Ben, it’s great to be back with you. Secretary Pompeo, thanks so much for joining the show again. He previously served as director of the CIA from January 2017 to April 2018. He was sworn in as Secretary of State April 26th, 2018. QUESTION: First, we are joined by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
