WASHINGTON, Jan. 12 (Xinhua) U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo s final trip abroad to Europe was cancelled on Tuesday with multiple reports saying European officials declined to meet the outgoing U.S. top diplomat.
State Department Spokesperson Morgan Ortagus said in a Tuesday statement that Pompeo s trip was cancelled due to the transition with the incoming Joe Biden administration. We are expecting shortly a plan from the incoming administration identifying the career officials who will remain in positions of responsibility on an acting basis until the Senate confirmation process is complete for incoming officials. As a result, we are cancelling all planned travel this week, including the Secretary s trip to Europe, said the statement.
