‘It’s becoming a little bit of a cliché, frankly’
President Donald Trump will not visit the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) when he visits South Korea next week, a senior administration official told reporters Tuesday.
The president will embark on his longest trip to date from Nov. 3 to Nov. 14, with stops in Hawaii, Japan, South Korea, China, Vietnam and the Philippines.
While in South Korea, Trump will meet with American and South Korean troops at Camp Humphreys around the DMZ. Trump last week said that reporters “will be surprised” if he visits the border with North Korea.
However, a senior administration official speaking on the condition of anonymity, cleared up that a presidential visit to the DMZ will not take place.
“DMZ — the President is not going to visit the DMZ. There is not enough time in the schedule.
