DULUTH, Minn. (Reuters) - President Donald Trump said North Korea had returned on Wednesday the remains of 200 U.S. troops missing from the Korean War, although there was no official confirmation of the move from military authorities.
We got back our great fallen heroes, the remains sent back today, already 200 got sent back, Trump told a crowd of supporters during a rally in Duluth, Minnesota.
U.S. officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said on Tuesday that in coming days North Korea would hand over a sizeable number of remains to United Nations Command in South Korea, and they would then be transferred to Hickam Air Force Base in Hawaii.
Trump met with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un at a historic summit last week in Singapore, and said in a news conference afterwards that Kim had agreed to return the remains of U.S. soldiers.

(13,910 posts)Was NK stockpiling these remains? How did they produce them so quickly? Has NK withheld these remains for decades?

(3,427 posts)It seems like that sort of thing shouldn't be too hard to confirm if it's true. I wish the media would stop reporting what "Trump says" instead of what actually happened. Trump is not a credible source of information.

I believe nothing of what comes out of his anus mouth.

(6,560 posts)not what you say. Show the footage of you meeting the plane because if this really happened, you would not be able to pass up the photo op for a "Great Win". So much winning, we are getting sick of winning!

(24,745 posts)if they had gotten 200 bodies from your fucking narcissistic megalomaniac buddy that little pinhead POS, they would have been flown the recovered bodies to Hawaii, and in fact I am quite sure that the unit would have reported this if it had happened, and on top of this if you google, you will find that you are full of proverbial shit, it has not happened...........................again

......About 7,700 U.S. military personnel remain unaccounted from the 1950-1953 Korean War, U.S. military data show. According to the Pentagon, North Korean officials have indicated in the past that they have the remains of as many as 200 U.S. troops. More than 36,500 U.S. troops died in the conflict. ...........................

(34,195 posts)Lots of links,
all saying Trump is saying this.
I saw no report from anyone other than Trump.
I'd expect a comment from the Pentagon.

(3,427 posts)So even if this turns out to be another lie, it will be accepted as fact by many people, because they won't see the part that says it hasn't been confirmed.
