United States Deputy Ambassador to Indonesia Erin Elizabeth McKee (left) answers reporters’ questions on Monday (23/10) after meeting Foreign Minister Retno LP Marsudi at the Foreign Ministry in Jakarta. In the meeting, McKee issued a US apology over the incident that denied Indonesian Military Commander Gen. Gatot Nurmantyo entry to the US.

JAKARTA, KOMPAS — US Homeland Security Department spokesman Dave Lapan said the American Embassy in Jakarta had informed the office of Indonesian Armed Forces (TNI) Commander Gen. Gatot Nurmantyo that he might be delayed in leaving for the US because of “US security protocols”.

Lapan clarified that the US government was unable to resolve the matter before Nurmantyo arrived at the airport and was prevented from boarding the airplane. The general was eventually allowed to depart and booked on another flight. However, said Lapan, “he chose not to travel”.
