Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said that the United States’s European allies “haven’t been as helpful as I wish that they could be” following the U.S. strike in Iraq on Thursday that killed Iran’s top military commander, Gen. Qassem Soleimani.
“Frankly, the Europeans haven’t been as helpful as I wish that they could be,” Pompeo told Fox News’s Sean Hannity during an interview Friday night.
“The Brits, the French, the Germans all need to understand that what we did, what the Americans did, saved lives in Europe as well,” he added.
The top U.S. diplomat reiterated in the interview his assertion from earlier Friday that Soleimani, a powerful Iranian military figure and leader of the country’s elite Quds Force, was planning an “imminent” attack before he was killed.
