South Korean Prime Minister Inadvertently Discloses that U.S. Vice President to Visit DMZ

I guess the Vice President was trying to keep this secret in order to not give the North Koreans time to plan a provocation during her visit:

In meeting after meeting with Asian leaders Tuesday, Vice President Kamala Harris emphasized the U.S. commitment to regional security and the White House disclosed that she would visit the Demilitarized Zone dividing the rival Koreas.

An official said Harris would tour the border area between South and North Korea on Thursday, at the end of her trip to Asia. The visit comes amid persistent concerns about North Korea’s missile and nuclear programs.

North Korea test-fired a short-range ballistic missile shortly before Harris left Washington, an apparent response to joint military exercises between the United States and South Korea that include the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan.

U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited the DMZ in August, and then-President Donald Trump went in 2019 when he met with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. President Joe Biden did not go when he was in South Korea earlier this year.

Harris’ plan, which had been kept under wraps by her team, was unexpectedly revealed during a meeting with South Korean Prime Minister Han Duck-soo on Tuesday. A White House official rushed to confirm details of her trip afterward.

Any bigtime politician’s visit to the JSA is going to show up really big in anyone’s radar, or at least to those who are keeping tabs.

No point in keeping it a secret.

And in a decisive blow to the American economy, energy policy, social cohesion, and national reputation, North Korea cunningly made no attack on the DMZ during Vice President Harris’ visit.
