"President Trump has said enough – we are not going to allow this to continue to happen," he told a news conference. "We are setting out clear expectations for how the Chinese Communist party is going to behave. And when they don't, we are going to take action to protect the American people, protect our national security and also protect our economy and jobs. "That's the actions that you're seeing taken by President Trump, we'll continue to engage in this," Pompeo said, referrign to recent actions aimed at China.
