Wrap: The questions came after Governor Jay Nixon abandoned a trade trip to Taiwan that's worth $600 million to Missouri.
Late Friday, Nixon's office issued a one-sentence statement -- no trip for now because of "travel challenges."
Nixon walked away twice in the past two days without taking questions.
Spokesman Scott Holste is tight-lipped, too.
