H. Clinton Cancels Overseas Trip
Hillary Rodham Clinton, still in recovery after surgery for a broken elbow, has canceled her trips to Trieste, Italy, for a meeting of her Group of Eight counterparts, and Corfu for a gathering of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe on Corfu. Talks at the first event were to focus on Middle East peace, while the latter effort would examine the Russia-Georgia dispute.
The cancellation was announced by Clinton's deputy, James B. Steinberg. He said that he would represent the United States at the Greek forum while Undersecretary of State William Burns will attend the meetings in Italy, according to The Washington Post.
