Seoul (CNN)President Donald Trump attempted to make an unannounced visit to the demilitarized zone between North Korea and South Korea, but had to turn back because of bad weather. He was aboard Marine One en route when they had to return, according to reporters traveling with him.
Trump was disappointed and pretty frustrated he had to turn back on the attempted visit to the zone, known as the DMZ, according to White House press secretary Sarah Sanders.
He was to join South Korean President Moon Jae-in as a symbol of a strong alliance. Moon had already landed nearby.
Trump's two-day stop in South Korea is part of a larger tour of Pacific nations, where he has met with other world leaders in the region including Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

Kind has a symbolic feel to it. Deterred by the weather. Kind of like being deterred by bone spurs were having a bad hair day.

Who knows what inappropriate thing he would have done?
