The US Senate voted on Thursday to approve former CIA director Mike Pompeo as secretary of state Thursday after a bruising battle by Democrats against President Donald Trump's nominee.
Pompeo, who has earned Trump's confidence after a year at the CIA, was accused by Democrats of being too bellicose and harbouring deep anti-Muslim and anti-LGBTQ sentiments.
The approval came in time for Pompeo to lead the US delegation to NATO foreign minister talks in Brussels this weekend and to arrange a summit between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in the coming months.
