JSA Tours Suspended Until Early November in Preparation for President Trump’s Visit to South Korea
This is possibly being done in case North Korea tries to conduct some kind of provocation during the upcoming APEC summit that President Trump will be attending this month in South Korea:
South Korea has paused official tours of the Joint Security Area — a site shared with the North in the Demilitarized Zone — ahead of President Donald Trump’s planned visit to the Korean Peninsula. Tours of the JSA — already limited to military officials, distinguished visitors and media — will be suspended from the end of October through early November, Ministry of Unification spokesperson Koo Byongsam said Monday at a news conference. Koo said the ministry has “no specific information to disclose” about the decision and referred additional questions to United Nations Command, which oversees security and tours for the area.
