DOHA, Qatar—U.S. diplomats and personnel stationed abroad are being hit hard by the ongoing shutdown of the federal government in Washington, D.C., and are expressing frustration to their boss, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
During a meet and greet session with U.S. staff in Doha on Sunday, Pompeo sought to allay concerns while acknowledging that the longest government shutdown in history has impacted foreign staff, particularly during the secretary's weeklong trek across the Middle East. In many cases, U.S. staff worked overtime with limited resources and no pay to ensure that Pompeo's trip went smoothly.
