Pompeo heads to Ukraine next week to meet with President Volodymyr Zelensky
Secretary of State Michael R. Pompeo did not apologize for or deny having a heated exchange with a reporter in which he lost his temper and asserted that Americans don’t “care about Ukraine.”
The broadside came a day after Kelly revealed details about the outburst from Pompeo following the interview.Kelly told “All Things Considered” co-host Ari Shapiro on Friday: “He asked, ‘Do you think Americans care about Ukraine?’ He used the F-word in that sentence and many others.” Pompeo, who is scheduled to travel to Ukraine next week, apparently took issue with Kelly after she asked him if he had stood up for former Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch, whom Trump allies viewed as an impediment to his attempts to pressure Ukraine into announcing investigations of former Vice President Joe Biden.
