In this March 16, 2016, file photo, American student Otto Warmbier, center, is escorted at the Supreme Court in Pyongyang, North Korea.President Donald Trump says he doesn’t think North Korean leader Kim Jong-un was involved in the mistreatment of American college student Otto Warmbier, who died after being detained in the North.
Trump has taken credit for freeing American prisoners abroad and used Warmbier’s death as a rallying cry against the North’s human rights abuses before softening his rhetoric before talks with Kim.Warmbier, a University of Virginia student from Ohio, was sentenced to 15 years of hard labour in 2016 on suspicion of stealing a propaganda poster. He died in June 2017, shortly after being sent home in a coma.

What new Trump go along with all the dictators, all these dictators as Trump in they back pocket and they are all laughing at the him and saying we got him again
This is what you report? Not the success in obtaining a moritorium on missile and nuclear tests? You are a disgrace. Trump is trying to bring NK into the fold. He has had success where no one has. The peace prize has been awarded for far less.
Of course Kim knew. Of course the Saudi prince was directly responsible for the journalist’s touture killing. But if you want bigger picture peace, diplomacy means not accusing proud dictators of crimes..unless you’re ready to punish them via fiscal policy and/or war. Sad reality
And all because he tried to steal... a poster.
for a guy who lies a lot he believes in lairs a lot
