US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo said the State Department would “honor” the Trump administration’s “promise” earlier this week to begin the transition with the incoming Biden administration.

This is coming weeks after he suggested that the President would win a second term.

“Those things that are required that the President has directed us to do in compliance with the decision that the GSA made yesterday, we’ll do all of those things,” Pompeo said, referring to the General Services Administration, which provides a presidential transition team with office space and coordinates its access to federal agencies to plan the shift from one administration to another.

“It’s a legal requirement, and we’ll always honor that promise,” he said during an interview on Fox News that was conducted earlier this week and aired on Thursday.

CNN reports that In the same interview, the top US diplomat alluded to the Trump administration’s willingness to deal with terrorists and perceived threats by assassination — just days before Iran’s top nuclear scientist, Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, was killed on Friday outside the capital Tehran, according to Iran’s state media IRIB and the semi-official news agency Tasnim. No one has claimed responsibility for the killing.
