Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky shared a 2018 'Crimea declaration' by Trump's then secretary of state Mike Pompeo. It says that the US 'rejects Russia's attempted annexation of Crimea and pledges to maintain this policy until Ukraine's territorial integrity is restored.'
After Trump’s victory in the 2024 election, he declared that Mike Pompeo and Nikki Haley would not be appointed to positions in his next administration. According to The Wall Street Journal, Tucker Carlson and Donald Trump Jr. played a key role in blocking Pompeo’s return; Carlson argued that Pompeo was a “warmonger”. On January 22, 2025, President Trump revoked Pompeo’s security detail.
Note, for context on the revocation of the security detail:
In August 2022 it emerged that Pompeo was the target of an assassination plot by Iran.
That is, I don’t think that Pompeo has much pull anymore.
