Biden-Xi Relationship Quote from Mike Pompeo
“The warm embrace of Xi Jinping on our soil [2023] … is a fitting metaphor for the Biden administration’s failure to protect the homeland.

It has prioritized comforting our enemies over taking common sense steps to keep the American people and our troops safe.” – Mike Pompeo
