Washington (CNN)Secretary of State Mike Pompeo abruptly canceled a scheduled trip to Germany, where he was planning to meet with Chancellor Angela Merkel "due to pressing issues," the State Department said early Tuesday.
No specific reason was given for the cancellation. The press pool traveling with Pompeo has not been told where they are going next, and have been warned they may not be able to report from the country they are going to until after their departure.

That would be my preference.

NEW: US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is in Baghdad, Iraq, AFP reports
This as the US moves warships and bombers to the Middle East amid increased Iranian threat.
I’d guess you don’t need to send the Sec of State into a war zone.
You should probably add "Congress" and the "DNC" to that list!
ping!
I sincerely hope this is NOT about attacking Iran. I want to know the specific threat or threats to THIS country or our military in place in the middle east. I am sick of John Bolton sucking us into fighting Israel’s war. This
“ Gulf of Tonkin” ambiguous obfuscated fake news is very Boltonesque . He was the father of WmD in Iraq.( Lie). Our President will ruin his chances for 2020 with an unprovoked attack on Iran on Bolton’s advice. The Hell that will break lose here will be unsurpassed. Don’t do it Mr. President!!
FNC just reported Pompeo had a four hour stop in Iraq.

One of the more memorable quotes of a friend of mine who works in the oil & gas business:
"signing a contract in China is not the end of negotiations; it just signals the beginning of the negotiation process."
“I am sick of John Bolton sucking us into fighting Israel’s war. “
You sure your not a Democrat? An Omar supporter?
DAFUQ? Why are these yeasty, traitorous codpiece allowed to report yet?
My understanding is that, excepting unproven as such, any potential military action is/may be based on specific intel from one specific “reliable” source. Keep your powder dry.

Yep, she’s one Sour Kraut!
My FIL got put on a ship told he was going to Europe (warm clothes, etc.)....out at sea they got told...you are going to the Phillipines....and when they got there were greeted by NAME by Tokyo Rose on the radio...
and when they got there were greeted by NAME by Tokyo Rose on the radio... .............. Christmas in Korea, late 50’s the NORKs wished the men on the DMZ a Merry Christmas and named everyone in the unit. In Germany we use to kid about the USSR having copies of our 201 files. Its amazing how easy it is for our enemies to get all that info, I guess we can only thank our so called non vetted loyal American$?
That is WMD all over again. I want satellite photos — witnesses on camera. I want proof now. No MORE bs!! We will not have the wool pulled over our eyes again with our lives and trillions of wasted dollars.
All kidding aside, that is the biggest threat to Trump right now.
A sudden drop in the economy will make reelection more difficult. A trade war will do that.
Farmers are facing a very hard year as it is, and many large companies are putting pressure to stop the rhetoric on tariffs.
Interesting times.
An attack on Iran would be a disaster. Especially with an ally like Saudi Arabia. Much better to have no one, rather than go to war while relying upon them.
