WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Wednesday he would travel to Ukraine sometime soon, but gave no date for his planned visit to the country central to President Donald Trump's Senate impeachment trial.

"I’ll get to Ukraine before too long," Pompeo said in an interview with Bloomberg while visiting Kingston, Jamaica, as opening statements began in Trump's impeachment trial in the U.S. Senate.
