Did Cruz go on his own or part of a government coalition?
I don’t know what you mean by coalition. I thought it was on his own, though he wasn’t the only American politician there. But what does it matter? He was not required to go and went of his own volition, either way. Maybe there is some protocol for there being a State Department representative, an ambassador, representing America for the funeral of a former head of state, but I see none for a Texan senator. And the Kenyan resident having been there, which he was, would have been more than enough.
