Adam Shaw By Adam Shaw | Fox News

Three American prisoners held in North Korea have been released and are en route to the U.S. after a surprise diplomatic mission by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, President Trump announced Wednesday.

Pompeo is returning with the Americans, said to be in "good health," after a brief visit to Pyongyang. Trump said he plans to greet them at Andrews Air Force Base when they arrive outside Washington.

"I am pleased to inform you that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is in the air and on his way back from North Korea with the 3 wonderful gentlemen that everyone is looking so forward to meeting," Trump tweeted, referring to the prisoners. "They seem to be in good health."

Trump also said that a date and location have now been set for his meeting with Kim Jong Un.

Pompeo arrived in North Korea on Tuesday to prepare for the upcoming summit between the two leaders. Trump, announcing Pompeo's visit, had hinted at the possibility of the prisoner's release.

"We will soon be finding out," he said Tuesday when asked at the White House whether the prisoners would be freed. "It would be a great thing if they are, we’ll soon be finding out."

Pompeo was heading to North Korea just as Trump announced the U.S. would pull back from the Iran nuclear agreement. Trump is hoping to now make headway against North Korea’s nuclear weapons program.

Ahead of the planned summit, Trump hinted last week that the release of the prisoners was imminent, saying in a tweet: "stay tuned." White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said that it would be seen as "a sign of goodwill" if North Korea released the prisoners.

The Americans were all detained within the last couple years.

Kim Dong Chul, a South Korea-born U.S. citizen and former Virginia resident, was sentenced in April 2016 to 10 years in prison with hard labour after being convicted of espionage. He reportedly ran a trade and hotel service company in Rason, a special economic zone on North Korea's border with Russia.

Tony Kim was detained at Pyongyang's airport in April 2017 and accused of unspecified "hostile acts" against the regime. He taught accounting at the Pyongyang University of Science and Technology.

Kim Hak Song, an ethnic Korean born in China, was detained in May 2017 for "hostile acts." He worked in agricultural development at an experimental farm run by the Pyongyang University of Science and Technology, which was founded in 2010 with donations from Christian groups.

Another American detainee, Otto Warmbier, died in June 2017 -- just days after he was brought back to the U.S. with severe brain damage. He had been arrested in January 2016 and accused of stealing a propaganda poster and was sentenced to 15 years in prison with hard labour.

Pompeo's short trip is the latest move in a constantly evolving diplomatic situation in the region. Kim met with Chinese President Xi Jinping in China on Tuesday, the second meeting in recent months, and also met this month with South Korean President Moon Jae-in in South Korea.

During the summit, the two discussed denuclearization and declared a formal end to the Korean War. The North Korean regime has also claimed it will end its nuclear weapons and intercontinental ballistic missile testing program.

If I said that they've been released last week and you see them released today doesn't that tell you that I've got inside information that you are not aware of. The earlier you quit listening to the proponents of fake news and come over to the side of the truth where the good news is fresher than tomorrow's newspaper the better.

The devil is the liar. See below why the devil, the father of lies is not happy that they've been released.

Hush your mouth my ftiend. You are just a pathological liar like the racist pig you worship. It's unbiblical to lie like you and your lying mini god.

Since you are referring to the Bible let me give you some Bible lessons here.

"(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were" (Romans 4:17).

You can see how God calls those things which be not as though they were. I know that phrase will be strange to those of you who are strangers to the word of God. If I, like my Father, call those things that be not as though they were I will just be following in my Father's footstep. This is what Abraham, the father of many nations did but to you it will be a lie if Abraham said at the time that he was a father of many nations.

Now let's see one who you share similar characters with, in the verse below:

"Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not" (John 8:44-45).

The truth is that the NK detainees have been released. Thank God for President Trump.

Trump is surely father of many nations with five children from three different wives that he cheated on them all. What a Christian way not to keep your vow with your wives. If he is not truthful to his wives , how can Americans believe he would be truthful with them. Yours truly has been married for over 20 years and never strayed unlike your olosho paying savior that you idolize.

Your being married for 20 years will not qualify you to make heaven. You need God's grace just as Trump.

You meant the 71 year old misogynist who was cheating on all his wives including the present one Melania while she was pregnant. Your sense of morality belongs to the sewage.
