Wallace asked Pompeo why his State Department failed to condemn the Alexei Navalny poisoning and why Russia was able to complete 90 percent Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline.
"Let's look back at the Trump record. Under President Trump, the administration did not stop Russia from completing, and they continued to build, the Nord Stream Pipeline—and by the end of the administration it was 90 percent completed," Wallace told Pompeo."And President Trump never condemned Russia for the poisoning of Alexei Navalny or his arrest. And both of those happened on his watch.
"Well Chris, you said it yourself, they didn't complete the pipeline, we imposed real sanctions on the ships that were doing the construction and the insurers that were doing the underwriting it," replied Pompeo, who was head of the Trump State Department from 2018 through 2021."We made clear that pipeline was not going to be completed and it would not have been completed had we had four more years. I'm very confident of that.
