Trump Thanks Kim for Return of Soldiers' Remains

(27 Jul 2018) Speaking outside the White House on Friday, President Donald Trump thanked North Korean leader Kim Jong Un for 'fulfilling a promise' to return remains of missing US soldiers from Korean War. Kim promised to return the remains at a summit with Trump in Singapore in June. A U.S. military plane flew to Wonsan, North Korea, on Friday to pick up what are believed to be the remains of U.S. service members killed in the war. The 55 cases of war remains are to be honored at a ceremony next Wednesday at a base in South Korea. The remains are expected to be transferred to a base in Hawaii for verification sometime after Wednesday's ceremony. Trump said Friday that he wanted to thank Kim in front of the news media for "keeping his word." Trump did not respond to questions from the media about his former lawyer Michael Cohen. CNN reported Thursday Trump's former longtime lawyer and fixer, Michael Cohen, claims Trump knew in advance about a Trump Tower meeting in June 2016 between a Russian lawyer, his eldest son and other campaign aides that had been convened to hear dirt on his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton. Trump has denied knowing about the meeting in advance.
