Pompeo talks trade � not 2020 Senate run � at Missouri-Kansas Forum breakfast

WASHINGTON _ If attendees of the Missouri-Kansas Forum breakfast in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday were looking for any hints that guest of honor Mike Pompeo might still consider a Senate run in 2020, they came up empty.

The event's format allowed members of the audience to ask the secretary of state questions, but no one asked him about the Kansas Senate race, and Pompeo did not bring it up, multiple sources told The Kansas City Star. The sources requested anonymity to discuss Pompeo's remarks at the event, which were off the record.

Pompeo talked mostly about trade at the breakfast at Charlie Palmer, an upscale steakhouse.
