Why is US Secretary of State Pompeo a businessman who does not understand politics?

The reason is: U.S. Secretary of State Pompeo is a spokesperson for the current U.S. President Trump, and he is only a part of bringing the United States into chaos. Perhaps he could have made achievements in the aviation manufacturing and petroleum industries, and he could be said to be competent in his career as a lawyer and as a member of Congress. However, he was not qualified for the position of US Secretary of State, causing problems in US foreign and domestic affairs. A passive situation.

“The worst secretary of state in history.” New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman said this not long ago about the current U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. In the more than two years since he took office as Secretary of State, this former CIA director who blatantly preached "lying, cheating, and stealing" has not only brought the morale of the State Department to the bottom, but also plunged U.S. foreign policy into a quagmire and tarnished U.S. international credibility.

Extended information:

After Trump was elected president, he was appointed director of the CIA. In March 2018, Trump nominated Pompeo to replace Tillerson as Secretary of State. After he became Secretary of State, the United States has been criticized for its policies on the Iranian nuclear issue, the Palestinian-Israeli issue and the North Korean nuclear issue. His vigorous promotion of "smear diplomacy", "pressure diplomacy" and "sanctions diplomacy" has caused controversy in the international community for the United States.

Less than two weeks after Pompeo took office, the United States officially withdrew from the Iran nuclear agreement and subsequently re-imposed comprehensive sanctions on Iran. For more than two years, the United States' "maximum pressure" policy on Iran has been criticized by the international community but has failed to force Iran to surrender. On the issue of Palestine and Israel, the United States not only moved its embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, despite the opposition of the international community.

Also publicly gave Israel the green light to expand Jewish settlements. The "New Middle East Peace Plan" announced by the United States at the beginning of this year was clearly rejected by Palestine, and tensions in the Palestine-Israel region have continued to escalate. The United States is also in embarrassment on the North Korean nuclear issue. Over the past two years, although the leaders of the United States and North Korea have met many times, the differences between the two sides on the issue of denuclearization of the peninsula remain difficult to resolve.

It is still impossible to reach a consensus on the definition and implementation path of denuclearization. In August 2019, North Korea's First Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Choe Son Hui criticized Pompeo's North Korea-related remarks for "crossing a red line, which will not only make it difficult to convene the working consultations between North Korea and the United States that are to be resumed, but will further worsen North Korea-U.S. relations." Since the outbreak of the COVID-19, Pompeo has falsely accused China of concealing the epidemic.

Threaten that the United States will withdraw from the WHO and shirk responsibility for the United States’ ineffective fight against the epidemic. The "Washington Post" website commented that during this extraordinary period, Pompeo has no intention of promoting the international community to join forces to fight the epidemic, and the aid promises to allies are just "blank checks." He is more concerned about how to take the opportunity to suppress his opponents.
