President
Donald Trump on Friday appeared to open the door for the top U.S. diplomat,
Mike Pompeo, to leave his post to run for an open
Senate seat in his home state of Kansas.
Talk about a Senate run has picked up as Pompeo has come under criticism for not defending U.S.
diplomats who have testified in the Trump impeachment inquiry, but it is still unclear whether he will run.
Washington has been awash in speculation about Pompeo’s possible departure amid growing strain in his relationship with Trump.
