US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is to visit Brussels on Monday to discuss 'pressing matters' including Iran instead of attending a meeting in Moscow.

As a result of his EU meeting, the top US diplomat is scrapping a stop expected on Monday in Moscow, a State Department official said on Sunday.

But he will still head to the Russian Black Sea resort of Sochi on Tuesday to meet President Vladimir Putin and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, the official added just before Pompeo left Washington.

An EU Foreign Affairs Council meeting is scheduled in Brussels on Monday, but the State Department did not offer specific details of Pompeo's revised agenda.
