Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has cancelled a trip to Europe trip at the last minute.
Mr Pompeo had been due to fly out on Tuesday but Reuters reports that Luxembourg’s foreign minister and several top European Union officials have declined to meet with him.
Diplomats and people familiar with the matter confirmed the news to the wire service. The secretary was supposed to meet with his counterpart in Luxembourg before travelling on to Brussels.
The extraordinary snub to Washington comes just days after the storming of the Capitol by thousands of supporters of Donald Trump, an unprecedented attack on American democracy that stunned many world leaders and US allies.

SFC (Join to see) I think All European Leaders Now realize that Pompeo Only Represents the Orange Mussolini and Not America or the American People. Waste of their Time to Talk to Him.
