Sec. Pompeo met with some of Washington's closest Asian allies in Tokyo, as Washington drives to build support for its tough line on Beijing among China's neighbors.
Trump, who last month told the United Nations that
that has killed more than a million people around the world, has made a hard line against Beijing a central part of his Nov. 3 reelection bid. Meanwhile Pompeo has led a rhetorical assault on China's handling of the pandemic. On Tuesday he toldthat he was"confident that these four countries will be real leaders in pushing back against the Chinese model for how to respond to this virus," he said, calling out China for trying to"deceive the world"— claims China vehemently denies.
Supporters of President Donald Trump wave flags as they hold a portrait of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo outside Japan's prime minister's office ahead of the four Indo-Pacific nations' foreign ministers meeting in Tokyo on Tuesday.
