| Pres. Trump says North Korea has returned remains of 200 U.S. war dead |
| 2018-06-21 |
| DULUTH, Minn. (Reuters) - President Donald Trump said North Korea had returned on Wednesday the remains of 200 U.S. troops missing from the Korean War, although there was no official confirmation of the move from military authorities. "We got back our great fallen heroes, the remains sent back today, already 200 got sent back," Trump told a crowd of supporters during a rally in Duluth, Minnesota. U.S. officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said on Tuesday that in coming days North Korea would hand over a "sizeable number" of remains to United Nations Command in South Korea, and they would then be transferred to Hickam Air Force Base in Hawaii. Trump met with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un at a historic summit last week in Singapore, and said in a news conference afterwards that Kim had agreed to return the remains of U.S. soldiers. |

| #8 Don't assume its been maintained beyond anything but to keep it merely afloat, not seaworthy. |

| #7 As a practical matter, how do you get it back? I'm sure our Navy divers have a plan on file, one that will involve at least a year to complete and an aircraft carrier group stationed nearby for support. ;-) |

| #6 I predict the Pueblo *will* be returned. Pudge will offer it as a gesture of friendship, new era between our countries, blah blah blah. Donny will graciously offer to come and pick it up to save his pal Pudge the shipping expense. As a practical matter, how do you get it back? I'm guessing the Norks have skimped on maintenance so you can't just change the oil, weigh anchor and drive it home. Heavy lift ship? |
