President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump took off for Argentina Thursday morning, preparing for 48 hours worth of meetings with world leaders and tweeting from Air Force One.
Their departure comes after the president spent 12 minutes talking to reporters before he left the White House, mainly about the fact his former personal attorney Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to lying to Congress about his business talks with Russia during the 2016 campaign.
But he also told reporters his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, set for Saturday here, was on.

The president did a 180 shortly after take off, tweeting that the sit down was canceled, citing three Ukrainian ships seized by Russia.
There was a mere hour's worth of time between his contradicting statement.
'Based on the fact that the ships and sailors have not been returned to Ukraine from Russia, I have decided it would be best for all parties concerned to cancel my previously scheduled meeting...
...in Argentina with President Vladimir Putin. I look forward to a meaningful Summit again as soon as this situation is resolved!,' Trump wrote in a pair of tweets from the presidential plane.

But the meeting would have come under the cloud of questions about Cohen's relationship with Moscow - and what he told the president while Trump was trying to win the White House.
Trump is likely still feeling the sting of his last sit down with Putin, which was their Helsinki summit in July, when the president was criticized for appearing to deferential to his Russian counterpart.
The president bashed Cohen, his former confidant, as he left the White House, saying he's 'making up a story' and 'lying, very simply, to get a reduced sentence.'
Melania Trump also tweeted from the presidential plane, posting a video of a town hall on opioid addiction she attended at Liberty University on Wednesday.
'I believe education and learning is key to making the right decisions on your own behalf,' she wrote.
With a 10-hour flight ahead of them, there is plenty of time to tweet more.
Spotted leaving with the first couple were Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump along with the president's outgoing personal aide Jordan Karen.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
