Missouri Governor Parson’s overseas trade mission postponed

Recent COVID-related travel restrictions in Israel and Greece have caused Missouri’s governor to postpone this week’s trade mission to the two nations.

Governor Mike Parson says delaying the trade mission to Israel and Greece is necessary to ensure the health and safety of Missouri leaders, private partners and staff who were planning to attend.

“We are postponing our trade mission because we want to respect the travel policies and practices enacted by the host countries,” Governor Parson says in part, in a written statement.

The governor says efforts to reschedule the trade mission are underway.
