Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka has arrived in South Korea where she will attend the closing ceremony of the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang.

She said she was thrilled to be in the country to "cheer for Team USA" and to "reaffirm our strong and enduring commitment with the people of the Republic of Korea".

South Korea is rolling out the red carpet for Ivanka's first visit since her father became US president.

Her arrival at Seoul airport was broadcast live on TV, and she will have dinner with President Moon Jae-in later.

A North Korean delegation will also attend Sunday's closing ceremony, but the South Korean government has said it's unlikely that Ivanka Trump would meet North Koreans or defectors from North Korea.

Hopes are high in South Korea that she may deliver a message from President Trump on North Korea.
