Spend the day with First Fan Ivanka Trump at the 2018 Winter Olympics

PYEONGCHANG, South Korea — Ivanka Trump on Saturday played the role of First Fan as she arrived at the Winter Olympics, while the Trump administration continued to push on the sidelines of the Games for its “maximum pressure” strategy to nudge North Korea to abandon its nuclear and ballistic missile program.

Trump, who was picked by her father President Trump to lead the delegation for the closing ceremony, arrived at the 2018 Winter Olympics Saturday and plunged head first into the Games.

The president on Friday announced a new set of sanctions against North Korea over its nuclear and ballistic missile program.
