Great to be back in Chicago, a truly wonderful American city. Come with me as I visit our @travelgov passport agency, Ukraine’s diaspora community, @UChicago, record @waitwait, and more!
Secretary Blinken walks down the stairs of a plane. The Department of State logo is on the plane door behind him. The words "City of Chicago. Department of Aviation" are printed on the stairs.
