North Korea has released three US detainees in the country, according to media reports, and it meets some of President Donald Trump demands for Pyongyang to demonstrate sincerity before its upcoming US summit. Kim Dong-cheol, Kim Sang-deok, and Kim Hak-seong — three US citizens detained in North Korea for years — have been released from a suspected labor camp and given health treatment and ideological education in Pyongyang. The news follows Trump's hawkish National Security Adviser, John Bolton, calling for the release of the detainees as a way for North Korea to demonstrate its sincerity in talks. North Korea has released three US detainees in the country, according to media reports, and it meets some of President Donald Trump demands for Pyongyang to demonstrate sincerity before the historic meeting between Trump and Kim Jong Un.
Kim Dong-cheol, Kim Sang-deok, and Kim Hak-seong — three US citizens detained in North Korea for years — have been released from a suspected labor camp and given health treatment and ideological education in Pyongyang, according to the Financial Times.
"We heard it through our sources in North Korea late last month. We believe that Mr Trump can take them back on the day of the US-North Korea summit or he can send an envoy to take them back to the US before the summit," said Choi Sung-ryong, who campaigns for the release of detainees in North Korea.

Holy crap! This is huge. This is not talk. This is action.
Plane and escorts on the way!!
Will the Prez. get credit for this from the corrupt left-wing media?
Not a chance.
So, you think this will impress that corrupt bag of poop Mule-head?
“have been released from a suspected labor camp and given health treatment and ideological education in Pyongyang. “
IDEOLOGICAL EDUCATION?? Sounds like something obamatard cooked up..
Should be the BIG headline on Drudge, but it’s not!!!!!!!
You better believe it! This seems to be a very public good-faith act. Pretty darn exciting that we could see a once-in-a-generation change happen in Korea!
Wow. Local talker is talking about this now. He reads FR. Hi, Leland!
Saw people posting this on twitter..hope its true..if true..WOW just WOW..wonder how the Commie media will spin this one
Release the Pueblo.
I’m sure the networks will lead with this news tonight....
Ha-ha-ha-ha.... no they won’t.
Though I’m sure had a Tea Partier shot up a commie-crat baseball practice last August that would still be mentioned every night.
The Commie media would rather slit their own wrists than give Trump credit for ANYTHING
Looks like NK is giving up. Where does this lead? A reunifed Korea with Kim Jong-un moving to the French Riviera to enjoy the rest of his life?
Wow.. This is what having a real LEADER in charge looks like.
Mr. President, please stop. I can’t take all this winning!
“this So, you think this will impress that corrupt bag of poop Mule-head?”
No. Rosensweasel’s coup is impervious to any good of the country considerations. These bastards need to thrown in Jail for treason and l include sessions.
It means little if (because) the behavior of the regime in such matters has not/does not change; which I suspect is/will be the case; in which, minus fundamental change in such matters, the north is doing its usual pretense at change, to flatter its opponents into lowering their guard. If Trump’s staff is fooled by this diplomatic theatrics, I’ll be surprised. The problem with North Korea is not mere pre-summit diplomatic concessions but the nature, long term and ongoing behavior of the regime.
It’s starting to remind me of the collapse of the Berlin Wall. I’m 64. This war has been going on my entire life. For this to actually end would be major history.
