The U.S. has not determined a cause for the affliction, and the White House on Tuesday declined to say if the individual\u2019s symptoms were similar to those in other Havana Syndrome cases.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Harris, who is on a week-long tour of Asia, was scheduled to leave Singapore at 4 p.m. local time, but reporters traveling with the vice president \u201cwere abruptly sent back to the Shangri-La hotel shortly after 3:30 p.m. local time after being loaded into vans for the planned departure from Paya Lebar Air Base. Her plane eventually took off at around 7:30 p.m. local time,\u201d Bloomberg reported.<\/p>\n<p>Harris\u2019 office did not explain the delay. Her spokeswoman Symone Sanders told reporters before takeoff: \u201cYou saw her get onto the plane. She is well. All is fine,\u201d The Daily Mail <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-9922433\/Kamala-Harris-flight-Singapore-delayed-three-hours-Havana-Syndrome.html\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In Singapore, Harris said it\u2019s \u201ctime to start buying\u201d toys. Addressing a roundtable of business leaders after delivering a speech, the vice president cited climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic as adverse effects on the supply chain.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe stories that we are now hearing about the caution that if you want to have Christmas toys for your children, it might now be might be [sic] the time to start buying them, because the delay may be many, many months,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo across the board, people are experiencing the issue. And, of course, the climate crisis is fueling a lot of this. When we look at the stronger typhoons that have disrupted shipping lanes and sea level rise, which threatens port infrastructure as an example. So these are the many issues that are that are causing these disruptions,\u201d Harris said.<\/p>\n<p>The vice president on Sunday high-tailed it out of D.C. for a week-long Asia tour. While she has so far mostly dodged the topic of Afghanistan in her comments, her first stop brought a slight diss from a foreign leader.<\/p>\n<p>During an appearance alongside Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, both leaders were asked about the disastrous U.S. withdrawal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI understand and appreciate why you asked the question. And I think there\u2019s going to be plenty of time to analyze what has happened and what has taken place in the context of the withdrawal from Afghanistan,\u201d the vice president said. \u201cBut right now, we are singularly focused on evacuating American citizens, Afghans who worked with us, and Afghans who are vulnerable, including women and children.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Harris added that \u201cwe have a responsibility and we feel a deep commitment to making sure that folks who helped us are safe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lee was more blunt. \u201cCountries make calculations and take positions, and they have to make recalculations and adjust their positions from time to time,\u201d the prime minister said. \u201cSometimes it can be done smoothly; sometimes there are hiccups. &nbsp;Sometimes things go awry and take time to put right.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
