Vice President Mike Pence sat near North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s sister Kim Yo Jong at the Olympic opening ceremony on Friday, during which the two reportedly avoided eye-contact despite being only a few feet away from each other and, at one point, she appeared to glance at him contemptuously.
An aide to the vice president told CNN that Pence “and our team were aware she’d be in attendance. A primary purpose of the trip was to show a united front with our allies in Japan and South Korea in support of a denuclearized Korean Peninsula. The VP sat with Moon and Abe in the box after days of meetings with both leaders.”
