Kerry is currently in Munich according to Pososbiec from last bread, Why? Munich Security Conference article from today:

 

The United States is bringing its largest-ever delegation to the conference, with Vice President Mike Pence and Patrick Shanahan, the acting defense secretary, representing the Trump administration. A congressional delegation includes the House speaker, Nancy Pelosi.

 

The future of NATO is likely to hang over the conference. Mr. Trump has been critical of the alliance, saying it imposes an unfair financial burden on the United States. Mr. Shanahan visited NATO headquarters on Wednesday.

 

In a statement from the White House ahead of the conference, the administration said Mr. Pence would emphasize bilateral discussions, call for “more equitable burden sharing within the NATO alliance,” and speak about international trade and stabilizing the Middle East and Latin America.

 

With players from across the political spectrum, the American delegation may well push diverging visions of United States foreign policy.

 

“There are major divisions within the U.S. government, including in the national security establishment,” Mr. Jones said. “And there are plenty of senior-level government officials in the Department of Defense and State who value the relationship with Europe and value the intelligence sharing that goes on multilaterally, not just bilaterally.
