WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Mike Pence and Karen Pence will lead the U.S. delegation to the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea.
A White House official said Wednesday that Pence will attend the games, scheduled for Feb. 9-25 in Pyeongchang.
Pence will also stop in Alaska to review intercontinental ballistic missile defense systems and in Japan. The White House says Pence will stress U.S. commitment to stability in the region to leaders of South Korea and Japan.
North Korea has agreed to take part in the games in South Korea, and the two countries have agreed to hold more discussions on easing tension along their border, and to reopen a military hotline.
The U.S. and other world powers want North Korea to abandon its nuclear weapons program.
He’d make the PERFECT North Korean hostage…
Good thing Karen is going with him, that will keep him from patting spandex clad athletes on the butt, like W did to the female beach vollyball player in Beijing.
Of course! You don’t think DONNIE would get that close to North Korea do you? Do they even HAVE golf courses over there?
Sending Pence into harm’s way, while likely to continue taunting the crazy-nuclear next-door neighbor of the host. Everything can be framed as conspiratorial or overly dramatic in these days of Dotard.
Interesting how the VP ,this one, always gets the free ride easy jobs.
Not to much thinking involved, just smile,wave and repeat what is on the card in his pocket trump had wrote for him.
