Trump denies he paid North Korea for Otto Warmbier’s release by stableford
President Trump on Friday responded to a report that he approved a $2 million bill presented by North Korea to cover the medical costs for Otto Warmbier, an American college student who fell into a coma in North Korean custody and died shortly after being returned home after spending 17 months in a Pyongyang prison.
Trump then tweeted a quote praising his hostage negotiation skills: “President Donald J. Trump is the greatest hostage negotiator that I know of in the history of the United States. 20 hostages, many in impossible circumstances, have been released in last two years. No money was paid.”Notably, Trump did not deny he agreed to the bill from North Korea.
According to the Post, Trump approved payment on the invoice, which was sent to the Treasury Department and remained unpaid through at least 2017. In February, after his second summit with Kim Jong Un, Trump said that he did not hold the North Korean authoritarian leader responsible for Warmbier’s death.
