President Donald Trump is expected to stop over at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam this morning so that Air Force One can refuel on its way back to Washington, D.C., after his Asia trip.
Unlike Trump’s overnight stay on Oahu at the start of his trip earlier this month, this stopover is not expected to include any motorcades or road closures.
However, the Federal Aviation Administration issued temporary flight restrictions from 7 to 10 a.m. today for Oahu due to “VIP movement.” The restriction covers the entire island and encompasses many aircraft operations, including flight training, gliders, parachutes, hot air balloons and hang gliding. Commercial and cargo flights, as well as approved air ambulance flights, are not subject to the restrictions.
Trump’s schedule on the last day of his trip includes participation in the 12th Annual East Asia Summit Head of State and Government Luncheon, followed by
the 12th East Asia Summit plenary session at the Philippine International Convention Center in Manila, according to the White House.
Later in the afternoon, Trump is scheduled to depart Ninoy-Aquino International Airport in Manila for Hickam en route to Washington, D.C. Air Force One is expected to arrive at Hickam around 7:15 a.m. and depart for Washington about 90 minutes later.
No events are planned on Oahu, according to the official White House schedule.
The president and first lady Melania Trump spent just over 18 hours on Oahu on Nov. 3 and 4 on their way to Asia.
During that stopover, the presidential motorcade closed H-1 and other roads several times as the Trumps traveled between Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam and Waikiki, where the first couple stayed.
The president met with Pacific Command leaders and visited the USS Arizona Memorial while here.
