On April 26, Director of National Intelligence Daniel Coats issued the following statement on the Senate confirmation of Mike Pompeo as secretary of state.<\/p>\nOn April 26, Director of National Intelligence Daniel Coats issued the following statement on the Senate confirmation of Mike Pompeo as secretary of state.<\/p>\n
I am pleased the Senate voted today to confirm the nomination of Mike Pompeo as Secretary of State.<\/p>\n
The United States and our allies face a world with a diverse array of threats, and America\u2019s diplomats and spies contribute to our safety in unique, complementary ways. Mike loved his job as CIA Director and championed the workforce. I am confident he will do the same for our diplomats.<\/p>\n
In our near-daily Oval Office sessions with President Trump, Mike provided his rich perspective. He will continue to do so as a policymaker. His experience in the Intelligence Community no doubt will shape his approach as Secretary of State.<\/p>\n
I look forward to working with Mike in his new role, and I thank him for his Intelligence Community service. I hope to welcome nominee Gina Haspel as CIA Director very soon.<\/p>\n
