While Secretary Clinton has been busy receiving honorary degrees and extending benefits to same-sex partners, she hasn’t been neglecting her diplomatic duties. She doesn’t have any public appointments on her schedule today, but she’s most likely busy working the phones in the wake of North Korea’s nuclear test and missile firings.
The Associated Press reports that Clinton has spoken on the phone with foreign ministers in a number of countries, and the Washington Post reports that she is asking them for a “strong, unified” response. As Clinton proved last April, she knows how to handle those 3 a.m. phone calls.
