"Russia is behaving aggressively. They tried to interfere in our elections. Russia under Vladimir Putin remains a bully. We have to fight and deter them wherever we can," Pompeo told Fox News in response to the question of who threatens the US more - Russia or China.
Moscow has repeatedly denied US accusations of interfering in US elections.
“But if you look at the long-term threat to the American way of life, the risk to America's continued economic growth, China is a much bigger threat to the United States,” the secretary added.
