During a media briefing in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday, the State Department’s Assistant Secretary for the Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs Kurt M. Campbell confirmed that Clinton’s plane will refuel on Guam, giving her a few hours to meet with troops and speak to local island leaders.
“We will stop in Guam. In Guam, the secretary will meet with U.S. forces and troops that are stationed in Guam or are moving through. She will also have a bilateral meeting with the governor and also representatives from Guam there on the base,” said Campbell.
Shawn Gumataotao, deputy chief of staff of Camacho, said the governor and lt. governor will have some dialogue time with Clinton.
The governor has three items to bring up with Clinton, said Gumataotao.
“What is the D.C. pulse related to the U.S. contribution of the Guam buildup. In essence, the funding for the buildup,” said Gumataotao.
Camacho will also ask Clinton about the status of the Futenma replacement base in Okinawa since it has a direct impact on Guam.
He will also ask Clinton’s support for the Marianas China visa-waiver, said Gumataotao.
