Participated in Talks with North Korean Leader

On 30/06/2019, Ivanka Trump joined U.S. President Donald Trump at the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), where he met North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in a rare and closely watched diplomatic encounter. The meeting took place at the Joint Security Area, with key discussions held inside Freedom House on the South Korean side of the border. Ivanka Trump attended the այց in her role as a Senior Advisor, alongside her husband Jared Kushner and senior administration officials. During the visit, President Trump and Kim Jong Un held a private meeting lasting approximately 50 minutes, focusing on ongoing diplomatic efforts related to North Korea’s nuclear program and sanctions. Ivanka Trump was present in the vicinity of these high-level engagements and participated in surrounding discussions involving U.S. officials. Her presence reflected her continued involvement in select international diplomatic events during this period. Ivanka Trump also had a brief interaction with Kim Jong Un during the visit. Footage later broadcast by North Korean state media showed her among members of the U.S. delegation engaging with the North Korean leader. At one point during the visit, she stepped across the military demarcation line separating North and South Korea, an action that symbolized the unusual nature of the اللقاء, though the primary border crossing was carried out by President Trump. Prior to the DMZ meeting, Ivanka Trump participated in official events in South Korea, including attending a state banquet at the Blue House hosted by President Moon Jae-in. She also met with South Korean business leaders as part of broader economic and diplomatic engagements tied to the trip. Her visible role during the visit drew attention in media and political circles. Some critics questioned the appropriateness of her involvement in high-level diplomatic settings without formal diplomatic credentials, while the administration maintained that her participation was consistent with her advisory role and ongoing policy initiatives. #IvankaTrump #DMZ2019 #KimJongUn #USNorthKorea #Diplomacy
