House Speaker Nancy Pelosis office responded to Donald Trumps cancellation of her overseas trip and explained what she was going to do on the previously-classified visit to a war zone.
Pelosis chief of staff Drew Hammill tweeted that on the Brussels arm of the trip, which was required for pilot rest, the California Democrat and her delegation were going to meet with top NATO commanders, U.S. military leaders and key alliesto affirm the United States ironclad commitment to the NATO alliance.
He added that Pelosi was not planned to stop in Egypt suggesting that the White Houses statement about the trip was incorrect.
Along with expressing appreciation and thanks to military service members, the trip was also intended to obtain critical national security and intelligence briefings from those on the front lines, Hammill tweeted.

(12,448 posts)Like all trips to war zones, Pelosi's trip that was to end in Afghanistan was at least kept secret, and was possibly classified, for security reasons. Trump doesn't care about national security. At all. He doesn't even care about border security; the wall is just his vanity project used to throw red meat at his rabid, and rapidly dwindling, base.

It took Pelosi about two weeks, but got stabbed in the back.
Her trip would have been bad optics for Donald.
