re: Low Energy Tillerson cuts short trip because of fatigue

you realize that south korea has just impeached it's president right? it mentioned the power vacuum in your article.

Meanwhile, Tillerson’s shortened diplomatic consultations and public events in Seoul spawned a flurry of speculation given a leadership vacuum and political uncertainties.

Tillerson spent almost 2 1/2 hours with Japanese Foreign Minister Kishida including a dinner, and another hour with Prime Minister Abe. But his meetings with Yun and Hwang were each confined to about an hour, without a lunch or dinner gathering. Seoul officials said the US side opted not to have a meal together, citing the secretary’s “fatigue.”

fatigue was used as an excuse to not appear to be potentially endorsing a side in their pending election.

it would be helpful if you knew how things worked even a little bit.
