Foreign Minister abroad: Nanaia Mahuta dives into foreign diplomacy
The US leg of the trip included a meeting with Secretary of State Antony Blinken – and a two minute and 10 second webcast where they delivered prepared statements; a discussion with Kurt Campbell, White House coordinator for the Indo-Pacific; and a meeting with the USAID administrator Samantha Power.
