BofA warns Fed risks policy mistake with early rate cuts
Investing.com -- U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has canceled his planned visit to Japan and South Korea to focus on Middle East matters, according to a report by Japan’s Nikkei newspaper on Thursday.
Rubio was scheduled to arrive in Tokyo on Monday but has informed both Japanese and South Korean governments that his trip will be postponed.
The Secretary of State had originally planned to make his first visit to Japan in early July, followed by a trip to South Korea, before attending the Association of Southeast Asian Nations foreign ministers’ meetings in Malaysia.
Instead, Rubio will attend a meeting in Washington between U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Nikkei reported.
South Korea’s Foreign Ministry stated earlier on Thursday that Rubio’s visit to South Korea appears to be "difficult" to arrange in the near future.
