Transportation Secretary Buttigieg took 'personal trip' to Europe during intense rail strike negotiations
Fox News
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg took a previously undisclosed vacation at the end of August, during intense negotiations between unions and rail companies.
The previously undisclosed trip was first revealed by the Washington Free Beacon, which reported that Buttigieg set off to Porto, Portugal, just one week before Amtrak began canceling long-distance trains ahead of the looming strike. He was working remotely while the Biden administration engaged in tense negotiations to reach a deal that would prevent widespread supply chain disruptions just before Christmas, the department said.
