WASHINGTON (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 18th January, 2019) US President Donald Trump has informed House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday that her planned trip to Brussels, Egypt and Afghanistan will be delayed until the ongoing partial shutdown of the Federal government is resolved.

"Due to the shutdown, I am sorry to inform you that your trip to Brussels, Egypt, and Afghanistan has been postponed. We will reschedule this seven-day excursion when the Shutdown is over," Trump wrote in his letter to Pelosi.

Trump's message to the House speaker comes just one day after Pelosi informed Trump in a letter that she would delay his scheduled State of the Union address in Congress.
