President Trump's visit to Honolulu in early November before heading abroad on his trip to Asia cost taxpayers nearly $141,000 for less than 24 hours in Hawaii, according to a news report.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported Thursday that Trump's November 3 trip to the island cost at least $140,776, about $100,000 of which alone was shouldered by the Honolulu Police Department.

The city will not be reimbursed for Trump's visit because the trip was not designated as a a National Special Security Event by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, according to the newspaper.

Other costs associated with the visit included nearly $15,000 in costs to the Honolulu Department of Facility Maintenance, as well as $9,000 spent on traffic and crowd control devices such as concrete barriers.
