Secretary of State Rex Tillerson dismissed a report Friday that he turned down a dinner with South Korean officials because he was tired.
The Korea Herald reported that Tillerson cut short his meetings and public events in Seoul following long meetings and a dinner with Japanese officials during his first trip to Asia as secretary of state. According to the paper, “Seoul officials said the US side opted not to have a meal together, citing the secretary’s ‘fatigue.'”
During his interview with Independent Journal Review’s Erin McPike, published early Saturday , Tillerson claimed he never received an invite for dinner from the South Koreans.
