A scheduled trip to Taiwan by Kelly Craft, the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, has been cancelled by the U.S. State Department.
Ambassador Craft was due to arrive in Taiwan Wednesday for a three-day visit that included meetings with President Tsai Ing-wen and other senior officials.
But State Department spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus issued a statement Tuesday saying the department was cancelling all official travel this week, citing the transition to the incoming administration of President-elect Joe Biden, who takes office next Wednesday, January 20.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, whose planned trip to Europe was also cancelled, issued a statement Saturday easing self-imposed restrictions on all contacts between U.S. diplomatic officials and their Taiwanese counterparts.
Pompeo had planned to go to Belgium and UN Ambassador Kelly Craft had planned to visit Taiwan but all travel has now been canceled, State Department spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus said.
