The commander of US forces in South Korea will also attend the closing ceremony in Pyeongchang
Ivanka Trump, US President Donald Trump’s daughter and adviser, will lead a US government delegation to South Korea for the closing ceremony of the Pyeongchang Winter Olympic Games, a group that will also include Washington’s commander of joint US-South Korea military forces.
The first daughter’s group will include General Vincent K. Brooks, commander of United Nations command, Combined Forces Command, and United States Forces Korea, as well as James Risch, chairman of the Senate foreign relations subcommittee on Near East, South Asia, Central Asia, and counterterrorism.
