Hillary Clinton has canceled her trip to Morocco this week, to attend a “Friends of Syria” meeting, because of a stomach virus, Foreign Policy reported Monday. Clinton’s spokesman Philippe Reins said in a statement, according to FP:

“Since she’s still under the weather, we’ll be staying put this week instead of heading to North Africa and the Middle East as originally planned,” Reines said. “In her place, Deputy Secretary [Bill] Burns will travel to Marrakech for the Friends of the Syrian People meeting. We will let you know when she shakes this bug and resumes a public schedule.”
