VP Pence Visits Korean DMZ, Are China and Russia Going To Act? [VIDEO]

In a surprise moment during a planned visit to South Korea, Vice President Pence went to go see the demilitarized zone (DMZ) between North and South Korea for himself.

After all of Kim Jong-un’s parades and explosions this weekend, it’s probably no shock that Pence decided to send a message by going to the DMZ, even though he noted that this was a “meaningful” visit for him.

Meaningful visit to DMZ where 64 years ago my dad earned Bronze Star in Korean War. His medal stays close in my West Wing office. #VPinASIA pic.twitter.com/e2OCJsEiIK

Proud to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with US & S. Korean troops at DMZ. Today I reaffirmed that under @POTUS Trump our resolve is undeterred. pic.twitter.com/q7kBAbotP9
