Tillerson Cancels Day of Events in Africa

by Associated Press

   NAIROBI, KENYA --

   U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has canceled a day of events in
   Kenya because of illness.
   Undersecretary of State Steve Goldstein says Tillerson "is not feeling
   well after a long couple days working on major issues back home such as
   North Korea."
   There are no indications his illness is serious. Goldstein said some
   events may be rescheduled for later in his trip, including a planned
   stop at the site of the 1998 bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi.
   A rigorous Africa schedule that included stops in three countries
   Friday has been made even more strenuous for Tillerson by events in
   Washington. Tillerson was up much of the previous night working the
   phones when President Donald Trump agreed to a meeting with North
   Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
