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.

North Korea demands Mike Pompeo be replaced | Sky News AustraliaNorth Korea has demanded the US remove Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, arguing he is 'reckless'.\n\nKim Jong Un is also requesting the US lift economic sanctions on the country before he dismantles any nuclear weapons. \n\nOn Friday, Mr Pompeo rejected the North Korean demand that he be replaced as President Donald Trump's top negotiator. \n\nMr Pompeo visited North Korea four times last year, including for a meeting with the North Korean leader. Says the regime that can’t feed its own people and makes those that disagree disappear. 😏 Just what the world needs - another 'extremist' imposing their ways on a, basically, free world! Murdering cretin that he is. 👎 He's managed to suck POTUS in so far but not this time. Last week, during a US Senate subcommittee hearing, Mr Pompeo was asked if he would agree with descriptions of Mr Kim as a 'tyrant', he then responded: 'Sure, I'm sure I've said that.' Kwon Jong-gun: 'spouted reckless remarks, hurting the dignity of our supreme leadership'..

Just curious how it got reported. “Sources close to the President saw him seethe on reading the report “
