President Lee Jae Myung is heading home after visiting Japan and the United States from Saturday to Tuesday. 

The presidential jet carrying Lee and his entourage took off from Philadelphia International Airport at 9:25 p.m. Tuesday local time. 

President Lee visited Japan over the weekend for a summit with Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba to discuss trilateral cooperation with the U.S. before traveling to Washington on Sunday for a three-day trip.

Lee and U.S. President Donald Trump held their first summit at the White House on Monday to discuss security, trade and other issues, with both leaders signaling willingness to engage with North Korea. 

President Lee wrapped up his U.S. trip with a visit to a South Korean shipyard in Philadelphia to highlight South Korea’s commitment to the revival of the U.S. shipbuilding industry.
