Trump issued a forceful denial that his administration paid any money for the return of Otto Warmbier following reports that North Korea issued a $2 million medical bill in exchange for his release
President Donald Trump on Friday issued a forceful denial that his administration paid any money for the return of Otto Warmbier following reports that North Korea issued a $2 million medical bill in exchange for his release.
Warmbier was arrested in North Korea in the first hours of 2016 for taking down a propaganda poster in a hotel there, and was sentenced to 15 years’ hard labor in what has been roundly condemned as a sham trial. But Pyongyang disclosed that Warmbier had fallen into a coma after his trial, offering differing explanations for how he came to be in that state.
