President Trump’s recent comments about North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un did not sit well with Otto Warmbier’s parents.

According to Fox News:

The parents of American college student Otto Warmbier, who died after his detention in North Korea, on Friday countered President Trump’s suggestion that Kim Jong Un was unaware of their son’s treatment – blaming the “evil regime” for Otto’s death and saying no amount of “lavish praise” can change that.

The president drew bipartisan criticism for saying during Thursday’s summit in Hanoi that he takes Kim “at his word.”

Fred and Cindy Warmbier released a brief statement on Friday morning reiterating their long-held claim that the regime is responsible for their son’s death:

“We have been respectful during this summit process.  Now we must speak out. Kim and his evil regime are responsible for the death of our son Otto. Kim and his evil regime are responsible for unimaginable cruelty and inhumanity. No excuses or lavish praise can change that.”

Trump reiterated that he does not think that leadership in North Korean knew anything about the treatment of Otto.
