A White House Official has annouced that US Vice-President Kamala Harris will depart from Singapore two hours later than originally scheduled.
An official said that reporters would be given the reason for the delay on the way to the airport ahead of the planned departure time of 6.30pm Singapore Time.
VP Harris was initially scheduled to depart from Singapore at 4pm to Vietnam but in a turn of events, reporters traveling with the VP’s entourage were sent back to Shangri-la Hotel at 3.30pm local time shortly after they boarded the vans for their journey to Paya Lebar Air Base.
While official trips like this often run behind schedule, a delay of this nature is typically unusual.
The U.S embassy in Singapore and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Singapore could not be reached immediately to respond to queries with regards to this delay.
