JOINT BASE ANDREWS, Md. (AP) — Three Korean-Americans who were detained in North Korea for more than a year were greeted by President Donald Trump beneath a giant American flag after they returned to the mainland U.S. early Thursday.
Despite a middle-of-the-night landing, first lady Melania Trump, Vice President Mike Pence and a host of senior administration officials joined Trump to celebrate the occasion. The men, Kim Dong Chul, Kim Hak Song and Tony Kim, had been released Wednesday amid a warming of relations between the longtime adversaries.
The president and first lady boarded the medical plane on which the men traveled to take a private moment with them, then appeared at the top of the airplane stairway with the three and applauded as the men held up their arms in what appeared to be gestures of triumph.
"This is a special night for these three really great people," Trump told reporters as he stood on the tarmac with the former detainees. On the U.S. relationship with North Korea, Trump said, "We're starting off on a new footing."
In thanking North Korea's Kim Jong Un for releasing the three Americans, Trump said he believes Kim wants to reach an agreement on denuclearizing the Korean peninsula. "I really think he wants to do something," the president said.
After Trump's remarks, the three men boarded a bus for Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. The White House said earlier they would be evaluated and receive medical treatment at the Washington-area facility. Their families were not on hand for the ceremony.

What a joy after the last joke we had! Hint: The Founders warned us....don’t allow non NBC into the Oval Office.
“Thank you, Mr. Trump!”

Go to the article and scroll to the comments.
Yahoo article comments are mostly liberal.
The comments on this article will warm the heart of anyone on the right.

I have noticed in the past that yahoo comments are not mostly liberals.
Now the CNN morning team will HAVE to report this positive news .... Alysin Camerota must be choking on her coffee
CNN probably has their panicked editors huddled in meetings right now, desperately trying to figure out some way, any way, to spin this to make Trump look bad ...
“desperately trying to figure out some way, any way, to spin this to make Trump look bad ...”
CNN: “Koreans say Trump really does have ‘small hands’...”
As long as you don’t hit the 40 replies to each comment. Then you get to see the liberal filth spew.
Yahoo, a stinking leftist outlet is invaded by pro-Trump commenters, lol.
Please, mister President, stop it all. We are exhausted of so much winning.
Awesome.. thanks for posting. Iran next, I pray! Bring our beloved brothers and sisters home.
“we dodged a bullet” is putting it ever so mildly. I still can’t believe Trump won, sometimes! Proof of good winning out over EVIL.
going there!
