While Mike Pompeo was meeting with Kim Jong Un, CNN was busy reporting on a porn star and James Comey.

We are witnessing what could be one of the greatest foreign policy achievements in US history...
but apparently porn stars are more important.

Ivanka Trump to attend Olympic finale in S. Korea

https://t.co/HxXhIWUlSZ

— Breitbart News (@BreitbartNews) February 22, 2018

The Games’ opening ceremony saw Pence and the North Korean representatives seated in the same box, but they did not interact.

They had planned to meet secretly while in South Korea, but US officials said Pyongyang scrapped the plan after Pence denounced North Korea’s “murderous regime.”

...Ivanka Trump is scheduled to meet South Korean President Moon Jae-in on Friday, another salvo in that diplomatic back-and-forth.

“The upcoming visit by adviser Ivanka is intended to celebrate the successful hosting of the Pyeongchang Olympics and highlight the mutual understanding of the South Korea-US alliance,” Noh Kyu-duk, spokesman for the foreign ministry in Seoul, said Tuesday, according to the Yonhap news agency.

South Korea Flirts With Nuclear Ideas as North Blusters

◼ As their country prospered, South Koreans have largely shrugged off the constant threat of a North Korean attack. But breakthroughs in the North’s missile and nuclear programs and fiery threats of war have heightened fears in the South that even small miscalculations by the new and untested leaders of each country could have disastrous consequences. - MARTIN FACKLER and CHOE SANG-HUN/New York Times

Now this new sense of vulnerability is causing some influential South Koreans to break a decades-old taboo by openly calling for the South to develop its own nuclear arsenal, a move that would raise the stakes in what is already one of the world’s most militarized regions.
