Mike Pompeo, former Secretary of State and CIA Director, Fox News contributor and author of Never Give an Inch: Fighting for the America I Love, joined The Guy Benson Show today to lay out the goals of the latest summit with Russia and why the latest show of unity across the west is critical to maintaining pressure on Moscow. Pompeo emphasized the need for a robust security architecture in any deal to protect Ukraine's sovereignty, and why Donald Trump must fight for an outcome that honors the sacrifices of the Ukrainians who have fought so "valiantly."
