Army officer at DMZ lends Sanders his jacket on cold day
A chivalrous Army officer reportedly
lent his jacket to a chilly Sarah Sanders, press secretary to President
Trump, during their unsuccessful attempted visit Wednesday to the
demilitarized zone (DMZ) between North and South Korea.
The soldier, identified as Chief
Warrant Officer 2 Bobby Zizelman, was on the tarmac at U.S. Army
Garrison Yongstan when Trump and his entourage tried to make a surprise
visit to the DMZ, the Daily Mail said.
TRUMP’S SURPRISED TRIP TO DMZ CANCELED DUE TO BAD WEATHER
Sanders was photographed wearing the jacket, which had the officer’s last name stitched on the front, as she spoke to reporters on the trip.
The trip to the DMZ was ultimately scrapped due to unrelenting fog that prohibited the team from flying to Observation Post Ouellette in the village of Panmunjom between North and South Korea.
The stop was an undisclosed portion of Trump’s trip across Asia.
A senior administration official initially said Trump didn't plan to visit the DMZ prior to departing the U.S. but the traveling press pool was summoned earlier that day and told by Sanders they were heading out before the weather nixed the plans.
