Families of Japanese people who were abducted by North Korea in the 1970s and '80s thank Pres. Trump for his sympathy and for meeting with them while visiting Japan.
Families of Japanese who were abducted by North Korea in the 1970s and 1980s thanked President Donald Trump on Monday for his sympathy and for meeting with them while visiting Japan.
Shigeo Iizuka, 80, whose sister was abducted in the 1970s, asked Trump to work with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in getting North Korea to return the victims. Trump said he supports Abe's intent to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to resolve the issue. Abe renewed his willingness to meet Kim face-to-face without preconditions, such as its denuclearization, to resolve the abduction issue. Abe noted, however, that there currently are no prospects of a summit with Kim.
"I hope there will concrete progress. I do hope to get our loved ones back, and also want North Korea to become a peace-loving nation," Yokota said.
