Harris Cancels Overseas Trip to Focus on Wildfire Response
Live Mint-- Vice President Kamala Harris is canceling a three-nation overseas trip to remain in the US and assist in the federal response to the catastrophic wildfires in her home state of California. “In response to the historic wildfires in Los Angeles, the vice president has made the decision to cancel her and the second gentleman’s upcoming trip to Singapore, Bahrain, and Germany,” her press secretary, Ernesto Apreza, said in a statement on Thursday night. The visit to three critical US allies was her last planned overseas traveled as vice president and follows a failed, whirlwind presidential campaign that ended in defeat. Harris and Biden received a briefing from senior federal officials on the response to the wildfires earlier Thursday, where the vice president called the situation “apocalyptic.” Biden also canceled a trip to Rome and Vatican City to help direct the federal response.
