Nixon visits Saigon first U.S. president in South Vietnam
President Nixon flew to Saigon and asserted no further peace concessions are possible while praising the war as potentially America’s finest hour. He visited Di An base with General Abrams, met President Thieu at Independence Palace, and traveled with Mrs Nixon to a field hospital and an orphanage, marking a historic first by a U.S. president in Saigon. The trip, secretive and brief, underscored a push for decisive peace talks and a new phase of withdrawals as July approaches.
