Ivanka Trump has had no interaction with North Korean officials during her visit to South Korea, a White House official says, amid keen interest in whether the two sides will resume dialogue.

Ivanka, daughter and "adviser" to US President Donald Trump, led the US delegation to the closing ceremony of the PyeongChang Winter Olympics the same day.

She was seated close to the North Korean delegation, led by senior ruling party official Kim Yong-chol.

"There was no interaction with the North Korean delegation," the senior White House official said in a statement, speaking on condition of anonymity.
