PYEONGCHANG, South Korea—Vice President Pence arrived in South Korea for the 2018 Winter Olympics on Thursday carrying a message to the Games' host that it was time to increase pressure on neighboring North Korea even as the Kim Jong Un regime has shown a relative measure of cooperation.
Pence's arrival for the Games comes as he's been at the center of a Trump administration effort to downplay the significance of the recent thaw between North Korea and South Korea that has come with the 2018 Winter Games.
The rival nations will march under a unified banner at Friday’s opening ceremonies here, and 22 North Korean athletes will compete with the South Korean team.
