White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles is laying down a new policy sharply restricting overseas travel, after one member of President Donald Trump's Cabinet has been accused of frivolous international trips


According to Politico's West Wing Playbook, "At a February meeting with Cabinet members and senior staff at the Capitol Hill Club more than a week before the war with Iran, Wiles made clear that overseas travel should be kept to a minimum and only undertaken when absolutely necessary, according to three people familiar with the private conversation granted anonymity to discuss it freely. As a sign of how serious the new mandate is, any Cabinet-level international travel now must be approved by Wiles herself, two of the people said."

However, Politico's Sophie Cai noted, the move also follows Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins’ "'aggressive international travel' last year to Vietnam, Japan, India, Peru, Brazil, and the UK last year."
