White House says Biden will not visit Korea DMZ on Asia trip

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. President Joe Biden will not visit the Korean Demilitarized Zone when he visits Asia later this week, the White House said on Wednesday.

Biden had been considering a trip as recently as last week during his May 20-24 visits to South Korea and Japan.

Spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre said such a trip is no longer being planned during a briefing with reporters.
