President Trump defended his decision to skip a Saturday trip to a World War I cemetery in France due to weather conditions in a Tuesday morning tweet, claiming that the Secret Service had turned down his suggestion to drive there.
"By the way, when the helicopter couldn’t fly to the first cemetery in France because of almost zero visibility, I suggested driving. Secret Service said NO, too far from airport & big Paris shutdown. Speech next day at American Cemetary in pouring rain! Little reported-Fake News!"
