North Korea Returns Remains of U.S. Soldiers Killed During Korean War

HeadlineJul 30, 2018

North Korea has returned some of the remains of U.S. soldiers killed during the Korean War, in the latest diplomatic step between the U.S. and North Korea. North Korean leader Kim Jong-un agreed to the repatriation of remains during the historic summit between him and President Trump last month. This is Trump speaking Friday.

President Donald Trump: “At this moment a plane is carrying the remains of some great fallen heroes from America back from the Korean War. They’re coming back to the United States. Mike Pence, our wonderful vice president, will be there to greet the families and the remains. And I want to thank Chairman Kim for keeping his word.”
