Secretary Pompeo's Travel

We mourn the terrible loss of five American soldiers who died yesterday in service of our country as a part of the Multinational Force and Observers in Egypt.

We once again call on Belarusian authorities to immediately cease the use of violence against peaceful demonstrators, release all political prisoners and other peaceful protestors, and engage in meaningful dialogue with the Coordination Council and civil society.

The U.S. strongly condemns the “patriotism” resolution passed by the National People’s Congress Standing Committee, which disqualified four members of Hong Kong’s Legislative Council for exercising their mandates as lawmakers.
