As President of US Donald Trump interacted with the press in South Korea after his historic meet with North Korea's supreme leader Kim Jong-Un, he introduced his scretary of state Mike Pompeo as beast and his daughter Ivanka as the one who will 'steal the show'.

Introducing them while visiting the Osan Air Base in Pyeongtaek, a region south of South Korean capital Seoul, after an Asia trip, Trump said:

"What a beautiful couple," referring to Ivanka Trump and Pompeo, POTUS said: "Mike, Beauty and the Beast, Mike."

Incidentally, this is not the first time the US President has referred to his daughter's appearance in glowing terms. "Let me tell you one thing: Ivanka is a great, great beauty. Every guy in the country wants to go out with my daughter. But she's got a boyfriend," he told the New York magazine in a 2004 interview.

The development came after Trump became the first US president to enter North Korea. The meeting between the leaders took place on June 29 after Trump suggested to Kim Jong-un via Twitter to meet and "say hello" as Trump was in the region, attending the G20 summit at Osaka, Japan alongside other world leaders including PM Modi.

Regarding the negotiations with North Korea, Trump said that he 'got along' very well with Kim Jong-un and that if it was not for him, then both North and South Korea would have been at loggerheads with each other.
