Two of President Trump’s cabinet officers, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Defense Secretary James Mattis, are scheduled to be at Stanford on Monday and Tuesday to meet with two top Australian officials.
The U.S. will host Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop and Defense Minister Marise Payne at Stanford’s Hoover Institution.
Here’s the announcement from the U.S. State Department.
Protests are expected since Pompeo and Mattis are aides to Trump. Bill Larson, spokesman for the Stanford Department of Public Safety, said protesters are asked to assemble at the corner of Serra Mall and Lasuen Mall. No street closures are planned.
What will the four talk about? The Kuwait News Agency quoted a State Department official as saying the topics of the meetings include China, North Korea, free trade in Asia and the defeat of ISIS in Iraq and Syria. Australia is part of the coalition fighting alongside the U.S. in Iraq.
Public portions of the event will be streamed live on www.state.gov and at www.hoover.org.
POTUS doesn’t have the guts to come here so we’ll have to settle for his lackeys
Was Jim Mattis also Obama’s lackey when he still served unde Obama?
Hope they’re greeted with a wall of resistance and a crowd so loud they can’t hear themselves speak.
Oh, yeah. That makes total sense. Let’s give the few sane people in Trump’s admin a really hard time so we can get some worse.
Surprised the Russians weren’t invited.
What exactly are they protesting? Peace with North Korea or peace with Russia? Or maybe the upcoming peace with Iran? If they had any decency, intelligence or integrity (I know, asking A LOT from leftists) they’d be protesting the fact that President Trump (aka The God Emperor) has not been awarded his richly deserved Nobel Peace Prize yet, its really outrageous!
