[Global Times comprehensive report] The US government ’s poor response to the new coronary pneumonia epidemic may well affect the performance of the Republican Party in this year ’s Senate elections. According to the US "Washington Post" report on the 15th, people familiar with the matter revealed that Trump and Republican gangsters recently urged Secretary of State Pompeo to run for the Kansas Senator, believing that if he goes out, he will definitely be able to keep a seat. According to the US Constitution, MPs cannot serve in government agencies, so if Pompeo is really elected, he will need to resign as Secretary of State.
This fall, the two parties in the United States will compete for 35 seats in the Senate, and Republicans will defend 23 of them. The Republican Party currently leads the Senate with a 53:47 advantage, but Republicans are increasingly worried about losing control of the Senate. Trump's advisers revealed that the President has received regular reports from Senate Republican leader McConnell and other political advisers on the deteriorating political situation in the Senate. Before joining the Trump administration in 2017, Pompeo was a senator from Kansas. McConnell repeatedly tried to persuade Pompeo to "flight" again. Trump was initially skeptical of this suggestion, but had a one-on-one conversation with the "most valuable and most trustworthy" subordinate in the government two weeks ago, encouraging him to "reconsider" the suggestion. Spokesmen for the White House and the State Council declined to comment.
The source said that Pompeo rejected the head boss's vigorous lobbying. Although Pompeo repeatedly resigned from the plan last year to run for senator, but after several months of weighing, he gave up the plan because he still has "unfinished business" to complete. "Washington Post" said Pompeo focused his work on U.S.-Iranian affairs. According to Qatar Al Jazeera, Pompeo said recently that the United States will make every effort to extend the arms embargo against Iran. The United States claims that if the UN Security Council does not extend the arms embargo against Iran, then all UN sanctions against Iran will be restored. It is worth noting that to restart the United Nations sanctions on Iran, the United States needs to be a signatory of the Iran nuclear agreement, but the Trump administration has withdrawn from the agreement. In this regard, Iranian Foreign Minister Zarif said that the threat of US officials is stupid, but this is not new.
