Video - Trump Wishes South Koreans ‘Magnificent Winter Olympics’

US President Donald Trump wished the South Koreans ‘Magnificent Winter Olympics on Twitter in what he ensured the world would be a great spectacle as he’s seen firsthand what the South Korean nation built for PyeongChang 2018.

Sharing two videos from his recent Asian trip where he addressed the South Korean parliament in Seoul, President Trump reminded everyone of their great accomplishments whilst being greeted with rounds of applause.

<blockquote class="twitter-video" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Congratulations to the Republic of Korea on what will be a MAGNIFICENT Winter Olympics! What the South Korean people have built is truly an inspiration! <a href="https://t.co/giN2B1h6Ph">pic.twitter.com/giN2B1h6Ph</a></p>&mdash; Donald J.

At the same time, Vice-President Mike Pence was arriving at Osan Air Base in Pyeongtaek where he was greeted by US General Vincent Brooks, commander of the United Nations Command, US Forces Korea and Combined Forces Command.

<blockquote class="twitter-video" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Best wishes to the Republic of Korea on hosting the <a href="https://twitter.com/Olympics?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Olympics</a>!

Mr Pence will be greeting the US team during the Olympics opening ceremony on Friday, leaving the organizers with quite the planning disaster, as they don’t really know how far apart they need to seat the US Vice-President and the sister of NOKO dictator Kim Jung-Un, Ms Kim Yo-jong, who everyone expects to take over for her brother at a certain point.

One official, speaking on condition of anonymity, acknowledged to the press: “This is a protocol headache … How close should the North Koreans and Americans sit, when Washington has been so public about sanctions and pressure against North Korea? And who takes a higher seat?”
