Likely Havana syndrome case delays Harris trip to Vietnam

Havana syndrome is a rash of mysterious health incidents first reported by American diplomats and other government employees in Havana, beginning in 2016 and 2017.

U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris’ trip from Singapore to Vietnam was delayed several hours on August 24 by a “recent possible anomalous health incident”, the U.S. Embassy in Hanoi said. The U.S. government uses that phrase to describe what’s known as “Havana syndrome”, first reported by American diplomats and other government employees in Havana, Cuba, beginning in 2016 and 2017. No cause has been determined, but similar unexplained health ailments have since been reported by Americans serving at diplomatic posts in other countries.
