Secretary Clinton Traveling to Latin America This Weekend *update*
As everyone knows, an 8.8 magnitude earthquake hit Chile, which was one of her destinations, so no word yet on whether or how her trip will be changed to accommodate the changing circumstance.
Secretary Clinton met a short while ago with the POTUS and other members of the Cabinet in the Situation Room to provide updates on the situation in Chile. If I come across any information about changes to her trip, I’ll let you know.
UPDATE: Here is Secretary Clinton’s statement on the earthquake:
We are closely monitoring reports from Chile and across the Pacific rim, and our thoughts and prayers are with all those who have loved ones affected by this tragedy.
The United States stands ready to provide necessary assistance to Chile in the days and weeks ahead and is coordinating closely with senior Chilean officials on the content and timing of such support. Our Embassy in Santiago has established a command center and is working to ensure the safety of any affected American citizens.
I leave for the region tomorrow and will be in close contact with President Bachelet and other leaders. Our Hemisphere comes together in times of crisis, and we will stand side by side with the people of Chile in this emergency.
