The United States and North Korea, which
have no diplomatic relations and are technically in a state of war after
an armistice in 1953, have been at odds for decades.
In
recent months the war of words between North Korean leader Kim Jong-un
and US President Donald Trump has escalated as the North tests nuclear
missiles and Washington pushes it to disarm.
Ivanka
and Kim did not appear to interact when South Korean President Moon
Jae-in shook hands with dignitaries at the beginning of the ceremony.
The closing ceremony, entitled ‘The Next Wave’ will highlight the
Olympic spirit and present a vision of the future and a message of peace
The ceremony will include a preview of the 2022 Beijing 2022 Winter
Olympic Games – with an eight-minute film of what sports followers can
expect, shown at the Pyeongchang Olympic Stadium.
