En route to Dubrovnik — Secretary of State Mike Pompeo tested negative for COVID-19 in a precautionary screening following reports that President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump have contracted the illness.

“We’re praying for the president and the first lady that they’ll have a speedy recovery,” Pompeo told reporters. “I spoke with the vice president’s office this morning as well. We’re taking this, obviously, very seriously and we’ll do everything we can to keep everyone safe, including you all.”
