Report: North Korea To Release Three American Prisoners

I hope this is true!

According to Yonhap News Agency, North Korea will release three American prisoners on Wednesday. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is visiting the country to iron out the details of President Trump’s upcoming meeting with Kim Jong-un. There was a certain degree of uncertainty concerning the prisoners at first…

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo arrived in North Korea early Wednesday to nail down critical details for an upcoming summit between President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, raising hopes that three American prisoners could soon be released.

But even before he landed, Pompeo acknowledged that there was little certainty about the outcome of his visit, saying he was not sure with whom he would be meeting or whether the Americans would be freed.

…but it sounds like their release has been secured.
