Riyadh: US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will cut short his Middle East tour and head home early to attend a family funeral, an official said on Monday.
“Secretary Pompeo will return to the United States after his meetings in Muscat, Oman,” State Department deputy spokesman Robert Palladino said in a statement.
The top US diplomat looks forward to visiting the country “at an agreeable time in the near future”, Palladino added.
Pompeo held talks on Monday with Saudi Arabia’s King Salman and his son Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on Monday, during his second politically sensitive visit to the kingdom since Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi’s murder sparked global outrage. (AFP)
