NORTH KOREA ALLEGEDLY RELEASED U.S. PRISONERS AHEAD OF LANDMARK MEETING WITH TRUMP

Ahead of landmark talks with President Donald Trump, North Korea has allegedly released three U.S. prisoners who were being held for years in a labor camp.

Kim Dong-chul, Kim Sang-duk and Kim Hak-song are three U.S. citizens who were arrested in North Korea last year and accused of “hostile acts.” All three have been held ever since in one of the rogue regime’s notorious labor camps. But now multiple media reports have claimed that the three men were released from the camp and brought to receive medical treatment in North Korea’s capital, Pyongyang. It is unclear if and when they will be returned to the U.S.

Some experts suggested that the move was meant to facilitate upcoming talks between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
