'Maximum pressure'

PYEONGCHANG (SOUTH KOREA) (AFP) -  The US warned Pyongyang of "maximum pressure" towards denuclearisation on Saturday as Ivanka Trump kicked off a visit to the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics -- where she looks likely to avoid North Korean officials. After President Donald Trump unveiled the "heaviest sanctions ever" on North Korea, the White House spokeswoman said his daughter Ivanka would probably sit apart from the North Korean delegation at Sunday's closing ceremony. Sarah Sanders said the president wouldn't be "soft or weak" on Pyongyang, despite an apparent Korean detente as the North takes part in the Winter Games, just 30 miles (50 kilometres) from the peninsula's heavily armed border.
