Trump cancelled Pelosi’s military aircraft after she asked the President to postpone his State of the Union address until the government shutdown is resolved. Meanwhile, his wife Melania has returned to their luxury resort on the government jet. Usually, a lawmakers trip to a country in an active war zone is not disclosed although a White House official argued that the move was not out of vengeance.
In a letter to Ms Pelosi Trump said: “Due to the shutdown, I am sorry to inform you that your trip to Brussels, Egypt and Afghanistan has been postponed.
“We will reschedule this seven-day excursion when the shutdown is over.
"Obviously, if you would like to make your journey by flying commercial, that would certainly be your prerogative.
“I feel that, during this period, it would be better if you were in Washington negotiating with me and joining the Strong Border Security movement to end the shutdown.”
