The fact the trip is happening was not in the readout and confirmed in answer to a question CNN State Dept Producer Jennifer Hansler, who clearly knew about it. 
A longer answer was provided to a question from @AFP French language DC correspondent Francesco Fontemaggi @ffontemaggi. But it doesn't really say anything. Just that its an "opportune time" to talk with Ethiopia given the ceasefires of sorts. Q&A on Sudan included here.
