Sanders, in a statement, attributed the decision to “the sensitive nature of the event.” Earlier Wednesday, Trump held meetings with Vietnamese government officials, announced $21 billion in Vietnamese investment in U.S. aerospace, and then returned to his hotel for four hours of unscheduled time before the meetings with Kim.
