WASHINGTON (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 18th January, 2019) A leak by the Trump administration of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's plans to travel commercially to Afghanistan scuttled the trip, Pelosi's spokesman Drew Hammill said in a statement on Friday.

"After President Trump revoked the use of military aircraft to travel to Afghanistan, the delegation was prepared to fly commercially to proceed with this vital trip to meet with our commanders and troops on the front lines," Hammill said. "This morning, we learned that the Administration had leaked the commercial travel plans as well... In light of the grave threats caused by the President's action, the delegation has decided to postpone the trip so as not to further endanger our troops and security personnel, or the other travelers on the flights."
