Secretary Clinton Cancels Trip to Russia

It looks like Secretary Clinton will need to continue her physical therapy at home for a while longer before going back to foreign travel:

A senior State Department official said Wednesday that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will not go to Moscow for President Obama’s meetings with Russian officials.

A senior White House official said the reason Secretary Clinton is skipping the trip is because the intensive physical therapy sessions that she’s been undergoing due to her broken elbow would have been too difficult to replicate during a grueling trip overseas. The White House official said it was unclear who will stand in for Clinton, though typically in a situation like this the Deputy Secretary of State would travel in her place. The Secretary’s number two at State is James Steinberg, a former deputy national security adviser in the Clinton administration.
