N. Korea frees US detainees

WASHINGTON. — US President Donald Trump announced yesterday that three American detainees have been released from North Korea and that the time and venue of his summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un have been set.“I am pleased to inform you that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is in the air and on his way back from North Korea with the 3 wonderful gentlemen that everyone is looking so forward to meeting. They seem to be in good health,” Trump tweeted. “Also, good meeting with Kim Jong Un. Date & Place set,” Trump said.

Trump said Pompeo and the detainees would be arriving at Andrews Air Force Base today.“I will be there to greet them. Very exciting!” Trump said.
