He was convicted on charges stemming from pulling down a propaganda sign in a Pyongyang hotel in the early hours of January 1, 2016 - an infraction that would be minor in almost any other country, but in North Korea it was considered a "hostile act against the state".
Flueckiger examined Warmbier and asked the two North Korean doctors, who bore a thick pile of charts, questions about the lab work, scans and X-rays they had done."I didn't realise what a negotiation it was going to be to secure his release," said Flueckiger, who is medical director of Phoenix Air Group, an aviation company based in Cartersville, Georgia, that specialises in medical evacuations.
"Would I have lied to get him out of there? Maybe I would have," he said. "But I didn't have to answer that question."The North Korean officials handed him a bill for $US2 million, insisting he sign an agreement to pay it before they would allow him to take Warmbier home, according to the two people familiar with the situation.Yun called the then-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and told him about the bill. Tillerson called Trump.
Warmbier's brain damage and then death at North Korea's hands caused widespread shock in the United States, but the news that North Korea expected the government to pay for his care has caused further backlash.

Trump paid it because it didn’t come out of his own pocket and it was more important for him to look like a big man to Kim Jong Un than to care how he looked to Americans ...disgusting. The poor young man deserved better than this .
