Mike Pence heads to South Korea Saturday amid North Korea tensions
Vice President Mike Pence will leave Washington on Saturday for an 11-day trip overseas with his first stop in South Korea as North Korea appears to prepare for another nuclear test.
White House officials said Pence’s trip is intended to reinforce that the U.S. is fully committed to its security alliances, especially in the face of North Korea’s nuclear threat, to facilitate economic engagement and reinforce that it’s fully committed to partnerships with key countries.

Kinda strange to send the VP to an area that NK is threatening with war.
Vote of confidence in SK and US forces in theater?
Statement the we don't take NKs bluster seriously?
Interesting for sure.

Would be unthinkable to cancel an already scheduled meeting.
