US Vice President Mike Pence has departed for Japan and South Korea on Monday.
Pence is leading a US delegation to this weekend's Winter Games. Before his arrival in Seoul, he will hold talks with Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in Tokyo. US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson on Monday said Pence is not seeking a meeting with members of the DPRK delegation attending the Games, but the US isn't ruling it out.
