WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is hinting there soon may be an update on the three Americans being held captive in North Korea.
Trump tweeted Wednesday: “As everybody is aware, the past Administration has long been asking for three hostages to be released from a North Korean Labor camp, but to no avail. Stay tuned!”
The president is preparing for a potential summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, tentatively scheduled for May or early June.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Kim discussed the Americans last month when Pompeo visited North Korea. Trump has said the U.S. is working hard to win the Americans’ freedom.
Trump’s national security adviser, John Bolton, said the release of the Americans would be a “demonstration of their sincerity” in the lead-up to the summit.
Past administration??
Please, will anyone be pointing out that two of the three remaining North Korean captives were taken into custody after Dump took office?
If I had a loved one imprisoned in North Korea, I would not be amused by “Stay Tuned!” This is real life, not the Apprentice.
“Stay tuned.” The reality-show mindset is steeped into every nook and cranny.
Donny, please. Please. It is not a reality show. There’s no cutting to commercial, with the big reveal after the break.
In other news, being reported that the big US trade negotiation mission to China surprised the Chinese with the lack of any significant advance planning and the members of the group have fundamental disagreements and therefore no consistent strategy.
If Trump uses the same recipe for success with Kim, we will end up selling North Korea enriched uranium.
Forget it, Donald, Rudy spilled the beans…
