Trump thanks Kim Jong Un as Korean War remains head back to US

KOREAN WAR REMAINS REPATRIATED: To the sound of a somber drum roll, 55 small cases draped in the United Nations flag were carefully carried across the tarmac of Osan Air Base in South Korea today, the beginning of what the U.S. hopes will eventually be the return of thousands of remains of U.S. Korean War dead, promised by Kim Jong Un to President Trump at the Singapore summit last month.

“Today’s actions represent a significant first step to recommence the repatriation of remains from North Korea and to resume field operations in North Korea to search for the estimated 5,300 Americans who have not yet returned home,” the White House said in a statement last night.
