Secretary of State Mike Pompeo won’t take a scheduled trip to Ukraine and other eastern European and Asian countries in January, the State Department said on Jan. 1.

Pompeo planned to travel to Ukraine on Jan. 3 to meet with President Volodymyr Zelensky before going to Belarus, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Cyprus and meet with leaders in those countries. Ukraine has been closely watched in recent months due to its being at the epicenter of the House Democrat-led impeachment of President Donald Trump.
