-As special advisor to President Trump, what would you consider to be the preconditions for the US to be able to engage with North Korea?
“The President and his National Security team have made very clear their position on this question, and have affirmed repeatedly our joint strategy of maximum pressure on North Korea. We stand with our allies in insisting on the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
-Your upcoming visit to the closing ceremony of the PyeongChang Olympics has been keenly anticipated, and the media made comparisons to Ms. Kim, Yo Jong, the younger sister of the North Korean dictator, Kim Jong Un, who attended the opening ceremony earlier this month. Given her stature and weight within the North Korea leadership, she has also been called as ‘North Korea’s Ivanka‘ in some media reports.
Against this backdrop, if you were to have a chance to meet her in person, what would be your first word and key message to her and/or North Korea?
”I have no plans to meet with anyone from North Korea. As far as the comparison, I would much rather celebrate our common interests with my sisters in South Korea. My main message is to the people of South Korea: congratulations on a great Olympics, and thank you for welcoming me, Team USA, and the Presidential Delegation to the fantastic, modern, vibrant nation you have built!“
-Would you be willing to visit North Korea and meet Kim Jong Un if your visit could serve to reduce tensions on the Korean Peninsula?
”The President, his National Security team and State Department are executing the maximum pressure campaign on North Korea. I am in South Korea to celebrate our talented American athletes and share a message of friendship, respect and support to the people of South Korea.“
-Many were touched by the passionate speech by President Trump during his visit to Korea last year, where he criticized the North Korean dictatorship for its record of human rights violations, a point he reiterated in the State of Union speech last month. Is it the stance of Trump Administration that North Korea is led today by an ’illegitimate, inhumane‘ dictator?
”Unquestionably North Korea is one of-if not THE most-repressive regimes in the world. Our hearts break for the suffering of the North Korean people. Seeing the beauty, strength and success of South Korea only makes North Korea’s plight more tragic. It is so impressive to see firsthand what the Korean people are capable of when they are free of tyranny and able to develop their own talents and realize their potential to the fullest.“
-The new tariff imposed by the United States is deemed by some as a potential source of rift between the two governments in the midst of North Korean nuclear tension. What would be your advice to reduce the tension and meet mutually agreeable terms and conditions?
”O(jiān)ur economic and national security teams are working hard on these issues. It is our hope that these and other trade issues can be resolved in ways that establish fair and reciprocal trade relations between our two countries, so that both economies can compete on a level playing field.“
-Birth rates in Korea are declining every year as women in general are faced with challenges of balancing parenthood and work. What is your advice to women in Korea as to how to maintain a balance between career and family?
”In our modern world, women should not have to choose between work and family. However, similar to Korea, the United States fertility rate hit a low in 2016. It is critical that we foster an environment backed by robust government policies that remove barriers for women in the workplace and enable working parents the opportunity to thrive as they balance the competing demands of work and family.“
-What types of policies would be needed to encourage such a balance, and what are the key principles/goals that you believe should be the cornerstone of such policies?
”The Trump Administration continues to be focused on policies that support working families and allow them to succeed in the economy. We are advancing policies that improve workforce development and skills training, provide affordable, accessible childcare, lower turnover rates in business and fuel productivity. We are working with Congress to develop a long over-due national paid family leave policy for American workers and fuel the growth of entrepreneurship through deregulation and tax cuts. We aim for our policies to reflect our American values and our innovative spirit.“
-Despite certain progress to date, women are still faced with gender bias and income inequality to varying degrees in Korea. What do you recommend as a solution to such a persistent problem, in order to enhance the future of our daughters and granddaughters?
”As both a former entrepreneur and current public servant, I understand the persistent and unique challenges that women face in the economy. In the United States, we are focused on women‘s economic empowerment, both domestically and globally. One way we hope to address these issues is through promoting entrepreneurship and removing the barriers that inhibit women entrepreneurs from reaching their full potential. We must ensure women entrepreneurs have access to capital, access to networks and mentors, and access to equitable laws. We also must focus on industry segmentation and increasing women’s participation in high growth, lucrative fields, such as technology and engineering, which are so important in the 4th industrial revolution. Women have been historically underrepresented in the STEM fields, so as we consider the future of work, we recognize this must also change. When we empower women in the workforce, our economics prosper and we create more stable societies.“
-What are other messages you wish to convey to the public in Korea and those watching the Pyeongchang Olympics worldwide?
”First and foremost, I want to thank everyone in Korea for their gracious hospitality and tireless work to bring the nations of the world together to celebrate the talent and strength of our people. The ancient history and modern marvels of the city are truly remarkable. They are a testament to South Korea‘s resilience, innovation and unbreakable spirit. On behalf of Team USA and the entire U.S. delegation, it is an absolute honor to come to the closing ceremonies of the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympic Games and I want to thank President Moon and First Lady Kim for their warm welcome and friendship.“
-We know your daughter, Arabella, is a fluent Chinese speaker and also a fan of Japanese entertainer Piko Taro. Does she (or do you) have any favorites in Korea / Korean pop culture?
”Arabella loves watching k-pop videos and trying to learn the choreography. I will sometimes come home from work, and she will dim the lights and perform while her brother Joseph DJs and Theodore does a light show with flashlights. In advance of my trip I have been trying to expose my children to South Korean culture, and they have embraced it fully!
-In this culture and age that glorifies youth and physical beauty, how do you define ’true beauty‘ and how do you maintain it?
“True beauty is defined by integrity, conviction, confidence and clarity.”
