German Chancellor Angela Merkel's visit to meet US President Donald Trump has been postponed until Friday due to bad weather. Merkel had been scheduled to meet with Trump on Tuesday.
Snowstorms bearing down the US east coast have forced German Chancellor Angela Merkel to postpone her visit to Washington DC.
White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer confirmed on Monday that the Chancellor's meeting with US President Donald Trump, originally set for Tuesday, will instead take place on Friday, March 17, and follow the same schedule of events.
Merkel's office also announced the postponement just before the Chancellor was due to depart. A spokesperson told reporters that Trump had called her to explain the severity of the blizzards in the forecast and advised her to postpone the trip.
The trip will mark Merkel's first face-to-face meeting with the new US president.
