Harris was scheduled to leave Monday on the five-day trip, during her final week in office before US President-elect Donald Trump is inaugurated. The visit to three critical US allies was her last planned overseas traveled as vice president and follows a failed, whirlwind presidential campaign that ended in defeat.
US Vice President Kamala Harris is cancelling a three-nation overseas trip to remain in the US and assist in the federal response to the catastrophic wildfires in her home state of California.
“In response to the historic wildfires in Los Angeles, the vice president has made the decision to cancel her and the second gentleman’s upcoming trip to Singapore, Bahrain and Germany,” her press secretary, Ernesto Apreza, said in a statement on Thursday night, US time.
