Chris kevin thank you. Joining is now here in washington is a secretary of state mike pompeo. Welcome back to Fox News Sunday. Thanks for having me on. Chris you know f the Iraqi Parliament is holding an emergency session today to discuss whether to the question of whether the u. S. 5000 troops should remain in country. It has just come across the wire the iraqi Prime Ministers as it is in the interest of both iraq and the u. S. To end foreign troop presence in iraq. And he also says that the killing of general soleimani and also a top militia leader that was backed by tiran Abu Mahdi Almuhandis were political assassinations. Your sponsor. We should know President Trump neverse shy away from protecting america. We have been doing that over the entire three years of our middle east strategy. The activity you are seeing today is fully consistent with that. The american should know we twwill continue on the president retweeted it again last night. We will take the actions necessary to keep americans safe. As to the going out with iraq today, we have been in the country and we will continue to take down the right against the American People. The primee. Minister, is the resigned premise are his the acting Prime Minister. He is under enormous threats from the very iranian leadership that we are pushing back against. We are confident that the iraqi people won the United States to continue to be there to fight the counterterrorism campaign. And we will continue to do all c the things we need to do to keep americans safe. Chris but if iraq as a sovereign country, they demand we leave, willun we leave . Will that dramatically hurt the fight againstsi isis and the stability and the reason . We will have to take a look at what we do when they iraqi leadership in government makes that decision. But American People should know we will make the right decision we will take actions that the Previous Administration refused to take to do just that. Chris President Trump says general soleimani was planning an eminent attack against americans you have said it was a big action that could potentially kill hundreds of american diplomats and soldiers. What was the plan . Who were the targets . Andd how soon . President trump was writing when he said and so was i. We will share all of the intelligence we can. As a cia director for while there are things we simply cannot make public about the things we new at the time and what we know today about the continuing activity. We got it right what we are eglpably negligent if we had not gone after soleimani will be had the opportunity. He was actively engaged in plotting against american interests. We need to look over what he personally and done over the days before that when americans were killed on december choice evans. There is no surprise there is plenty of public evidence of Qassem Soleimani and we did the right thing. Chris i just want to press of this degree. He had been targeting americans, and other people around the regiones for decades. At the t lot of 600 americans is on his hands during the iraq war. The question is, there are some intelligence agents who are talking to Media Outlets who are saying yes, he was doing bad things, but it was another day in the middle east. In some congressional leaders who have been briefed now, say that the intelligence was not of an eminent attack, it was bigger more worrisome. Dont the American People have the right to have somege understanding of what it was, why it was so urgent to take out soleimani now . I have not heard any of the congressional people whove seen the full set of intelligence to make the comments youre saying. Ii think anyone that knows what the senior american leaders had in their presence they would come to the same conclusion that our Leadership Team did. The fact that there be more risk to america, there wouldve been more risk if we would not of taken action we did. We will do everything we can to share this information with the American People, but he think the American People understand as well there are things we just cant put out the public. You have to a the protecting americans out there collecting the intelligence and thats the information will need in the days and weeks ahead and we have to protect them. Chris i rons leaders are bowing a crushing response using wordshe like a hard revenge. What we do if they strike back . If they retaliate . Is there a plan and is there because we went after soleimani is there a change in u. S. Responsibly are no longer going to go after the enemy in theco field, we are going to go after commandandcontrol . Isa strategy that is been several years than making now that we have been working on. Its a diplomatic strategy, ten economic and naive seen parts of the military. And the President Trump talks about 52 targets last night. That is not new, we have made clear to the theocrat, the kleptocratic that are running around today and running it against the will of their own people, we made clear to them that we would not respond just against these proxy forces that they run. That they run in yemen and syria and lebanon. We made clear that this cost will be brought home to them, to the leadership regime and iraq. And we would not just attack their asymmetric efforts we wouldnt would respond to anyone who puts our lives at risk. So. Chris you are saying toei leaders of the revolutionary guard and everyone else dont think youre off limits . What i am saying is exactly what President Trump assange. We will take responses that are appropriate with action that threatens american lives. Thats what jen safar chris there is no reason that the American People or the regime would think will do anything different. Chris you talk about the strategy. The president has been pushing what he calls the maximum pressure strategy since he took office. He pulled out the iran nuclear deer in may of 2018 and impose tough economic sanctions. And thiss summer he suggested the strategy was working. Iran is a much different country than two and a half years ago when i took over iran was oliver. They had 14 to 18 different sites of confliction, they were all over. And now they just wants, oh they want to negotiate a deal so badly. Chris but in 2019 alone ironic six ships, shot down a u. S. Drone, launch an attack on saudi oil facilities, damaging attacks, and after all the information of isolating the distant joint exercises with china and russia. So the question is has the president s maximum pressure strategy made ironic less aggressive or more . Its panicked aggression on the their leadership because they are demanding more from enormous change. They know the iranian people are supported by american that demand for change. We have a huge coalition chris, countries all across the world who are joining us. They are joining us not only in the straits in the defense this has been identified. Remember we came in chris we came in at 2015 the obama, Biden Administration handed power to the iranianti leadership. Acted as a cause i outlined thereby underwriting them underwriting the very militias that killed american resources. The money they had to build out those forces was provided to them by the nuclear deal. They had europeans go do business, we did a hundred 50 billion in cash, all these things of the very challenge the Trump Administrations had to correct. Strategy is working, we are turned have to stay the course will protect the American People at every step. Chris you know i will be asking senator mena holland and the next segment. President trump is also saying hes keeping his campaign tromp promised to pull troops tot of the middle east. Heres what he had to say in october. The plan is to get out of endless wars, to bring our soldiers back home, to not be policing agents all over the world. It was a quick hit but they stayed from us ten years. Let someone else fight over this long bloodstained sand. Before but just this week, this week the u. S. Deployed a hundred marines to the u. S. Embassy in bad dad plus seven and 52 the region and now another 3500. Is the president pulling us out of endless wars in the middle east or with his action this week did he take a big step back in . Endless wars are the direct result of weakness. And President Trump will never let that happen. We are going too get it right, we are w going to get our facilities as hardened as we can get them to defend against what i iran might potentially tdo. But make noo mistake, Americas Mission is to have our footprint in the middle east reduced will see keeping still keeping america safe. Keeping them safe from rogue regimes and terrorist activity. Chris so is it safe to say the big strategy is to pull the u. S. Out of endless warm, at least the short term it could be more of a commitment . The Obama Administration created an enormous risk to america. This administration is working to reduce that risk. Chris finally, some analysts suggest that the impeachment of President Trump has emboldened enemies like i iran and north korea. To think that they can confront him. Do you think that as misguided as it may be, that some of our enemies think this president is more vulnerable because of the impeachment effort . You should ask mr. Soleimani. Go chris i understand that but he was going ahead before you killed him. So the question is do you think impeachment is in building our enemies . I dont. I think our adversaries understand that President Trump and our administration will do the right thing to protect American People every place we find risk. Chris secretary pompeo thank you for coming on very busy weekend. When we come back democrats raise questions on the wisdom and legality of the president s decision to take out soleimani. Well talk with the top democratic senator, Chris Van Hollen, that is next. Its the 3pm slump. Should have had a p3. Oh yeah. Should have had a p3. Need energy . Get p3.

Chris the Senate Returned friday to its continuing stan chris the Senate Return friday to his continuing standoff over how and when to hold a trial after the impeachment of President Trump. And now that is further complicated by the explosive developments with i run. Joining us now here in. Washington democrat Chris Van Hollen of maryland. D. Senator welcome back to fox news. As soon drone strike to counsel montague and other democrats started criticizing the action of President Trump and his top officials that said there is an eminent attack and taking out soleimani prevented it. You just heard secretary pompeo say that again on this program. Dont you believe them . I think we learned the hard way, chris, and iraq in the iraq war. That administration sometimes manipulate and cherry pick intelligence to further theirir political goals. Thats what got us into the iraq war, there is no wmd. Chris understand thats happened in the past are you saying its happening now . Im saying they have an obligation to present the evidence. They did not notify the gang of eight and then opportunity that they had just two days ago to talk to senior staff at the senior level. They had no evidence to support their claim of an eminent threat. Look Everybody Knows soleimani cls a very bad despicable guy. There is no debate there. But the claim of an eminent threat, they have not supported. And what we do know is that this dramatic escalation is now putting americans at greater risk. In fact secretary pompeos own state department after the attacks urged americans to leave iraq. So obviously they thought it was a more dangerous situation the day after than the day before. And as you just reported we sent 4000 additional troops from iraq from a president who is claiming that he wants to get out of wars in the middle east. Chris there is no question that soleimani was our enemy. He had been directly or indirectly responsible foror hundreds of american soldiers are the iraq war. Hera wasnt taking a vacation as he was traveling around the middle east this last week. He was making more plans for terror attacks, spreading irans malign influence. Why not kill them . Because you have to look atli what the consequences are. We dont go around killing all the very bad people in the world. We have President Trump and bracing kim jongun, he has a lot of blood on his hands. Including an american citizen. He is getting love letters from the president of the United States. So the question is do we further our interest by killing soleimani, and everything weve seen is weve actually increase the risk of war dramatically. We have put americans at greater threats. And we seem to have accomplished soleimanis main goal is nested under minor influence and iraq. By rockyve the top leadership, the president and the Prime Minister condemning our action. We have Parliament Meeting to talk about expelling u. S. Forces. What was soleimanis main goal . It was to get us out to under minor influence. So we seem to haveet accomplished what soleimani was trying to do. So in death hes actually accomplish his goal. That turns back u. S. Interest in the region. Chris you have been tweeting ever since that soleimanis takedown. Heres one of them. The constitution makes clear the president may not go to war without authorization from congress, and we have not authorized war with iran. But senator whitehouse says this is not war, that soleimani was a terrorist and this was an act of self defense which a commanderinchief can always take. My. Chris is we are now headed very close to the precipice of war. You heard the president this morning talk about targeting iranian sites including cultural sites which is a war crime if the president was to carry that out. The. We are making is the president is not entitled under the constitution to con
