During a press conference touting economic successes, President Trump paused to recognize the fallen soldiers being returned home from North Korea.
According to The Daily Caller:
Trump paused near the end of the press conference and said, “There is another matter that is of profound importance to me and I wish to discuss it right now before we leave.”
“At this moment, a plane is carrying the remains of some great fallen heroes from America, back from the Korean War, coming back to the United States,” Trump said.
“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. We have many others coming, but I want to thank chairman Kim in front of the media for fulfilling a promise he made to me and I’m sure that he will continue to fulfill that promises.”
“These incredible American heroes will soon lay at rest on sacred American soil,” Trump continued. “So, we honor the sacred memory of every incredible American patriot who fought and died in that war. Everything we do and every action we take, we are fighting for loyal, hard-working, patriotic citizens of our blessed nation.”
This is a major step in the U.S.-North Korea relationship and shows that North Korea is making a good faith effort following the summit earlier this year.
