Senators offer praise, caution after North Korea releases prisoners

North Korea’s release of three American prisoners is a preliminary victory for President Trump’s pressure campaign, but Trump must still use “great caution” in the broader nuclear negotiations with North Korea, according to top Republican senators.

“We must approach North Korea’s recent overtures and the potential for talks over denuclearization with great caution, and I believe the administration fully understands that and is preparing in the appropriate way,” Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Corker, R-Tenn., said Wednesday morning.
