Mike Pompeo denounces anti-Semitism during speech

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Monday condemned the rise of anti-Semitism as a "cancer metastasizing" in the Middle East, Europe and in the United States, where he said the Trump administration would vigorously oppose it. In a speech to a major pro-Israel U.S. lobby group in Washington, Pompeo accused Britain's opposition Labour Party of tolerating anti-Semitism, calling it a "national disgrace".
