The Kinderhook Republican has been invited to join a trip being organized by the U.S. Association of Former Members of Congress. “I just received an invitation last week to visit Korea as part of a congressional delegation, and I’m considering whether or not it can fit into the schedule to go,” Faso said March12. Faso said the trip is supposed to take place in late April. The first-term congressman said he expects the delegation to be bipartisan and consist of less than 10 representatives. “Given everything that’s going on, I would like to go and see first hand and discuss with officials [about] their perspective,” he said. Faso received the invitation on the heels of news that President Donald Trump will meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in May. Read the full story in the Daily Freeman.
