The information was released by White House press secretary Sarah Sanders, who
added that Trump would return to his hotel soon.
She said Trump’s press conference, originally scheduled for 4 p.m, will now
take place at 2 p.m.
The two leaders were also scheduled to participate in a ceremony to sign a
joint agreement. Sanders declined to say whether that ceremony would still
happen, but it appears unlikely.
They were originally supposed to hold a working lunch that appears to have been
cancelled.
