BELGRADE (SERBIA) – US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Friday he was reconsidering his upcoming trip to Asia as a precautionary measure after President Donald Trump and his wife tested positive with coronavirus.
Pompeo told journalists on a flight from Rome to Dubrovnik in Croatia, that no decision has been taken yet.
Pompeo said, “I spoke with the Vice President’s office this morning as well. We’re taking this obviously very seriously.”
“We are praying for the President and First Lady that they’ll have a speedy recovery,” he said.
Pompeo said that both he and his wife tested negative on the plane 20 minutes ahead of the landing in Dubrovnik. He added that he last saw Trump in person on September 15.
