President Donald Trump is scrapping a planned post-election trip to Colombia the second time he has canceled plans to visit the South American country.
The president was slated to visit Colombia on Dec. 2 and 3 on a post-election travel blitz that will take him on separate trips to Paris and to Argentina, which is hosting the G-20 conference. But White House travel aides sent word in an internal email Friday that the presidents planned travel to Bogota, Colombia 2-3 December has been canceled.
The same officials said in the note that they were uncertain how the cancellation would affect Trumps travel plans to Buenos Aires for the G-20 conference, which is scheduled for the weekend prior to his intended Colombia trip.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the presidents travel plans.

Makes you wonder whether this might be factoring into the decision - notably given the reputation of the current occupant of the WH.
