Helicopters carrying the US President and an entourage of staff, media, and security forces were forced to turn back just minutes from the DMZ because of fog and mist, thwarting a plan that had been in the works since before the president left on his trip through Asia.
Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said of President Trump: “He’s actually pretty frustrated.”
Often clad in photo-friendly bomber jackets, all US presidents since Ronald Reagan have visited the DMZ except for George H.W. Bush, who toured as vice president.
It comes after US officials said the US leader would not visit the world’s most dangerous flashpoint because of time constraints.
