Pompeo starts European visit

Pompeo began a five-day European trip on Friday with a delayed visit to Berlin, where he was expected to press Germany to boost its military spending, avoid dealings with China’s technology giant Huawei and reconsider a pipeline project with Russia.

His visit had been scheduled earlier this month but was called off at the last minute as tensions rose over Iran, another issue on which Berlin and Washington do not see eye-to-eye.

Pompeo will also visit Switzerland, the Netherlands and Britain.
