Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, laid low in the middle of a week-long trip to Africa, was feeling better by the end of the day and plans to resume his public schedule in Kenya on Sunday, the State Department said.

The Secretary of State canceled Saturday’s planned events in Nairobi, Kenya, after falling ill. Tillerson, 65, had gone two days without sleep while working on North Korea and other issues, said Undersecretary of State Steve Goldstein.
