U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo defended training for foreign military students in operating U.S.-made weapons conducted at U.S. military bases.
Pompeo told Laura Ingram of Fox News on May 28 when answering a question about the terrorist attack conducted by a Saudi trainee at a naval base in Pensacola, Florida, that training programs for the foreign students exist because “we do conduct important training programs so that young American kids don’t have to fly all the airplanes all across the world to keep America safe.“
