Donald Trump thanked North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un on Friday for 'fulfilling a promise' to return the remains of American servicemen who died during the Korean War.

'I want to thank Chairman Kim for keeping his word.

We have many others coming, but I want to thank Chairman Kim in front of the media for fulfilling a promise that he made to me,' Trump declared.

The remains of what United Nations Command confirmed as 55 U.S. servicemen were part of a rare and somber ceremony on Friday, in which an American military plane arrived in the hermit kingdom to retrieve them.

UN honor guards carry the boxes containing remains believed to be from American servicemen killed during the 1950-53 Korean War on the arrival from North Korea, at Osan Air Base in Pyeongtaek, South Korea.

After the honors ceremony the remains will be flown to Hawaii for scientific testing and forensic examinations.

Talk about a country where service to nation is respected and honoured

The remains are believed to be some of the more than 200 that North Korea has held in hostage.

The vast majority of the war dead, however, have yet to be located and retrieved from cemeteries and battlefields across the countryside.

Efforts to recover American war dead had been stalled for more than a decade because of a standoff over North Korea's nuclear program.

A total of 36,000 American soldiers were killed in the devastating Korean War from 1950 to 1953, and 7,700 bodies are listed missing in the war.

A total of 5,300 are believed to still be in North Korea.


U.S. Forces Korea commander Gen. Vincent K. Brooks called the retrieval mission successful.

'Now, we will prepare to honor our fallen before they continue on their journey home,' he said.

After the honors ceremony the remains will be flown to Hawaii for scientific testing and forensic examinations.

I was touched when I saw that...
Nations that Respect their Citizens

Why wouldn't you be proud of a country that value it citizens more than cow . Imagine a country that value soldiers killed many years ago but this shameless Nigeria government will say nothing when lives are senselessly killed by Fulani terrorists. I wish am American.

Later the bodies will be shipped to Hawaii for forensic testing.

As the remains were returned, Kim spent his day visiting the graves of Chinese People's Volunteers who were killed fighting for North Korea against America.

The red stars on the graves denoted they were CPV soldiers.


After an earlier wreath-laying ceremony in Pyongyang, Kim also laid wreaths at the Martyrs Cemetery of the Chinese People's Volunteers in Hoechang, South Phyongan Province.


Kim also met with veterans on the 65th anniversary of the signing of the ceasefire armistice that ended the Korean War.

prolonged economic sanctions will make you do whatever your enemy wants. More than 50% of N Koreans are living in poverty

Like play like play, Trump has tamed d Mad King of North Korea... The Igbo adage "onye ara nwere enyi " meaning "A mad person has a friend " have never been more true... They'll test and identify those remains to give d families closure..

first tym I saw Kim in a jolly mood

I am very proud of you Kim. After this gesture, the next thing I want to see from North Korea is the test-firing of a new ICBM flying over Hawaii & Florida.

Trump would vomit his heart - out of fear.

In a sleight of hand, Kim sets the stage the deadliest pandemic in recent history to unfold in America. The health budget of the nation is strained fighting this pandemic; the nation is weakened, and North Korea goes to war with America, quickly achieving victory, leaving the world in utter amazement, shock, and disbelief.

Contrary to what you want to believe, economic sanctions has nothing to do with this. NK has been on the sanction list for decades and they have been living with that cause there are just too many ways to circumvent the harshness of the sanctions and even bypassed it altogether. They have been doing that for years.

What is happening now is simply walking in the light of reality. Trump, unlike his predecessor, knew quite alright that it is useless trying to force NK into submission relating to its nuclear program. So far, Trump's approach to certain international issues has been marked by a departure from the "I only we have it all" watertight bureaucratic ideology America is known for to a more pragmatic businessman approach. And so far, the results are not that bad. In fact, some of his critics can't help but score him high in some of the decisions and achievement he has made so far.

Although Trump has his problems (and who doesn't have one?) being a realist is actually helping him.
