Harris will travel to Asia, Mideast, Europe during her final week in office
The HinduVice-President Kamala Harris plans to close out her term with an around-the-world trip making stops in Singapore, Bahrain and Germany, her office said. The trip, scheduled to last from January 13 to January 17, will be Ms. Harris’s final opportunity to address U.S. foreign policy challenges before Donald Trump takes office. Although she has not disclosed her next steps after losing the Presidential election, the expansive travel suggests that Ms. Harris might want to continue playing a role on the global stage. Dean Lieberman, Ms. Harris' deputy national security adviser, said in a written statement that "the vice president felt it important to spend some of her final days in office thanking and engaging directly with U.S. service members deployed overseas, which as she has said, has been one of her greatest privileges as vice president.” There are U.S. troops based at all three of Ms. Harris' stops. Ms. Harris' final stop will be Spangdahlem Air Base in Germany, home to a deployment of U.S. Air Force fighter jets.
