D-Day 76周年紀念，國務卿Pompeo接受訪問時被問到有關香港的問題：
問：Now, the reason D-Day happened is because Germany seized France. The Chinese have just seized Hong Kong. Do you see any parallels between what Germany did to France to what China did and is continuing to do to Hong Kong?
這個問題把納粹終國與納粹德國相題並論。
Pompeo回答：
The United States is ever mindful that when we engage in conflict, we do so as a final straw, when there is no other option to protect freedom. We know, too, that authoritarian regimes have a tendency towards seeking increased land and power and to expand the scope of their tyranny. And it’s certainly the case that the promises that the Chinese Communist Party had made in their treaty with the United Kingdom – that they broke when they made the decision to deny Hong Kong people the freedoms that they had been promised – were similar to some of the promises that were broken back in the days when Germany advanced against the rest of Europe.
把納粹終國違反「英中聯合聲明」比作納粹德國違反承諾，而美國將會挺身而出維護自由。
問：On D-Day the United States invaded Normandy to restore Western civilization. Do you see the United States doing something similar in Hong Kong to restore democracy?
美國會否採取類似登陸諾曼底的方式恢復香港的民主？
Pompeo回答：
Now remember, remember in Hong Kong our task – what the President said on Friday we were going to do – is we were going to go make clear our expectation that China change its course, that it return to the status quo ex ante where the freedom that they had promised to the people of Hong Kong would be provided to them. And in the event that they do not – if they pass the national security law that we think they may pass, or if they delay or cancel the elections that are scheduled for September of this year – they will have made a fundamental breach not to just the United States but on their promises to the United Kingdom and the world. And the tools that the President laid out on Friday that we will use to respond will be engaged, and they’ll be executed. That will be the beginning of how we begin to think about what we will do to do our best to create maximal freedom for the people of Hong Kong and ensure that the people of America continue to remain free and secure.
如果終國通過國家安全法，或推遲／取消了今年9月舉行的選舉即違反對世界的承諾，美國將採取之前總統所公布的行動。
