Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has landed a new gig with Japan’s biggest steelmaker, Nippon Steel Corp.
In a statement, Nippon Steel shared, “We look forward to working alongside Pompeo to further emphasize the ways in which Nippon Steel’s acquisition of U.S. Steel bolsters the country’s economic and national security.”
Reuters reported Pompeo will be hired as an adviser for Nippon Steel.
Currently, Nippon Steal has received all regulatory approvals outside of the United States for their proposed $14.9 billion merger with U.S. Steel, but currently, they are facing regulatory trouble from within the United States, which is essentially the reason why Pompeo was hired.

In recent years, Pompeo has lost support from many conservatives after it was reported that when he was the director of the CIA, he allegedly called for WikiLeaks Founder Julian Assange to be murdered.
Tucker Carlson, while on Joe Rogan earlier this year, touched on the subject and shared, “Mike Pompeo was the secretary of state, but before then, he was the director of the CIA. And in that position, he plotted the murder of Julian Assange. So he is a criminal as far as I’m concerned.”
