North Korea expected to begin transferring remains of U.S. troops soon: officials

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - North Korea could start the process of handing over the remains of troops, including Americans, missing from the Korean War within the next few days, two U.S. officials told Reuters on Tuesday.

The officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said North Korea would hand over the remains to United Nations Command in South Korea, and they would then be transferred to Hickam Air Force Base in Hawaii.

One official said “a sizable number” of remains were expected to be handed over, but declined to give a specific number given the unpredictability of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

It could take months or even years before the remains are positively identified, the officials added.

U.S. President Donald Trump met with Kim at a historic summit last week in Singapore.

In a news conference following the summit, Trump said North Korea had agreed to return the remains of U.S. soldiers.

“(The families) want the remains of their fathers, and mothers, and all of the people that got caught into that really brutal war,” Trump said.

“And (Kim) agreed to that so quickly and so nice - it was really a very nice thing, and he understands it,” Trump added.

Wow.

Kim must have had 3 ghosts visit him one night and show him the error of his ways?

If Obama had done this, the left would be having group orgasms.

Not a mention on ABC tonight. But, lots of whining and hand wringing about illegals separated.

This is the ultimate win.

My Grandfather was in that war, and seeing this happen for families of those that didn’t come back just really gets to me.

What’s to wonder? The Demscum will try to spin this as weak appeasement by President Trump.

Probably some sort of tantric sex magicks would result from it like that satanic POS Alistair Crowley performed when he “summoned beings” ( Demons) ...
