Following President Donald Trump's unprecedented acceptance of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's offer to meet, reporters asked the White House why Trump would grant such a meeting, suggesting it would improperly amplify the regime's profile. White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders suggested that news organizations were partly to blame for "elevating" North Korea's status. During the 2018 Winter Olympics, several news reports compared White House senior adviser and first daughter Ivanka Trump to Kim Yo-jung, Kim Jong-un's sister.
