White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said the US does not comment on hostage negotiations, although the president has previously denied paying North Korea to release hostages.State department envoy Joseph Yun told CNN he was given orders to secure Mr Warmbier's release and believed the instructions came directly from Mr Trump.Speaking in March, the parents of the 22-year-old student claimed the North Korean regime was responsible for Mr Warmbier's death.
Fred and Cindy Warmbier said:"Kim and his evil regime are responsible for unimaginable cruelty and inhumanity. No excuses or lavish praise can change that."A US coroner said the student died from a lack of oxygen and blood to the brain, disputing Pyongyang's claims he had contracted botulism and taken a sleeping pill.
North Korea also denied allegations by relatives that Mr Warmbier was tortured, saying he was provided"medical treatments and care with all sincerity".He said:"Otto Warmbier was mistreated by North Korea in so many ways, including his wrongful conviction and harsh sentence, and the fact that for 16 months they refused to tell his family or our country about his dire condition they caused.
Will America pay to get back all of their criminals from foreign countries? Strange policy, America has criminals in prisons all over the world!
hey good old north korea, stand up against the racist , just like you sky scum love the nhs, hey maybe if he was black he wouldnt have been a student?
