Lo de abajo es de un sitio del web. ¿Por qué se usa el subjuntivo "llegue" ?
La accíon ya tuvo lugar y no hay duda que occurió. Gracias.

Las relaciones entre Rusia y EU viven su momento más complicado desde el final de la Guerra Fría, dijo hoy el Ministerio de Exteriores ruso en un comunicado a pocas horas de que llegue a Moscú el secretario de Estado norteamericano, Rex Tillerson.

La llegada de Rex Tillerson a Moscú todavía no había ocurrido cuando salió el comentario del ministerio ruso y menos cuando fue escrito el artículo, pues por eso se usa el subjuntivo señalando una acción del futuro.

Dear escribanteUSA,

After "a pocas horas de que", subjunctive is used, as explained in this Google book A Reference Grammar of Spanish By R. E. Batchelor, Miguel Ángel San José

55.4.15 Temporal clauses

After the following conjunctive expressions of time, the subjunctive is required when uncertainty is implied (this often implies a future idea)

a las pocas horas de que (a few hours after), a los pocos días de que (a few days after), ...
