SEOUL: A vehicle carrying over two dozen disposable gas canisters rammed into the US embassy in central Seoul on Tuesday just days before US President Donald Trump´s scheduled visit, Seoul police said.
The 40-year-old driver, who has not been identified, was arrested on the scene, they said. Police said the car was carrying 28 butane canisters when it ploughed into the embassy´s main gate, partially damaging it.
Trump travels to the South Korean capital this weekend after attending the G20 summit in Japan. Earlier this week, a Seoul official told reporters that Trump was considering a visit to the demilitarized zone that divides the two Koreas.
