Rep. Dan Kildee (D-Mich.) on Thursday wrote to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to request a breakdown of the money the State Department spent preparing for President Trump’s canceled trip to Denmark.
Trump had originally planned to visit the nation in early September, with the visit including the first Danish state dinner attended by a U.S. president since the Clinton administration. However, after Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen publicly rebuffed Trump’s reported interest in the U.S. purchasing Greenland, Trump announced the visit would be canceled.
In his letter, Kildee, a member of both the House Budget Committee and the House Ways and Means Committee, asked Pompeo for details on the money spent so far in advance of the visit.
“Knowing the extensive background work that goes into planning any presidential travel, especially overseas, this action by the President raises important fiscal questions for Congress,” the letter states.

So President Trump had some pre-trip logistics covered and for a changed diplomatic stance in response he decides against the trip? BFD.
Isn’t a trip not taken money saved?
How about the (in)famous Obama vacations?
So the clown party who wants to give free health care to all non-citizens is worried about the cost of a canceled trip?
They truly have become impossible to parody.
Trump scrapped the trip after the danish PM said she would NOT be meeting him due to ‘prior commitments’ I think a global warming conference... so Trump said Yeah? You are going to snub me like that? Then I am not going.
What is the problem with that? President Trump and the USA are owed an apology. Send them the bill.
Perfect answer!
What about Nancy’s Family World Vacation
Staws....that’s all they got. They’re grasping at straws.
They’re as useless as teats on a boar hog.
What is the price of democrat stupid witch hunt questioning about fake news
Lets have the price tag for all of congress witch hunt activity in the last year.
Had the President taken the trip, the SOBs would cry about the cost. He doesn’t take the trip and they still cry.
Ping!
How much does it cost our government to send President 0bama to Denmark at the end of September? Secret Service, etc.
