- WASHINGTON
- Secretary of State
Mike Pompeo anounced on Friday that
Elliott Abrams will be the State
Department’s special envoy for dealing with
the
crisis in Venezuela. Abrams was a senior
Middle East adviser in George W. Bush’s
White House, and also worked for the
Republican administrations of George H.W.
Bush and Ronald Reagan.
Abrams is considered a foreign policy hawk,
and one of the most prominent members of the
“neo-Conservative” school of thought. During
the 2016 Republican primary, he opposed the
nomination of
Donald Trump, and stated that Trump
wasn’t worthy of leading the party of Reagan
and Abraham Lincoln. These statements led
Trump to
veto an attempt by the previous
Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, to
appoint Abrams to a senior State Department
position in 2017.
Pompeo said on Friday that he was “excited”
to have Abrams join the Department.
“Elliott’s passion for the rights and
liberties for all peoples makes him a
perfect fit and a valuable and timely
addition,” Pompeo stated.
