“I think people around the world understand this kind of activity,” Pompeo told the radio.
“And when they see an effort to poison a dissident and they realize that there is a great possibility that it is actually coming from senior Russian officials, I don’t think it’s good for the Russian people,” he told Conservative leader Ben Shapiro.
Navaln, the most famous critic of President Vladimir Putin in Russia, suddenly felt bad on a plane flying from Siberia to Moscow last month. He was taken to a hospital in Siberia and then flown for treatment to Germany, where doctors said he was poisoned.
Pompeo reiterated that the United States and all its allies in Europe wanted Russia to “bring those responsible to justice” and added that Washington would also try to identify the culprits.
“We will investigate it, evaluate it and make sure we do our job and do everything possible to reduce the risk of such things happening again,” he said.
He made the comment despite President Donald Trump’s statement last week that he had yet to see evidence of the Navaln poisoning.
Trump sought better relations with Putin, but his administration still imposed sanctions on Russia over Ukraine and other concerns.
