Fact check: President Trump is wrong that soldiers' remains are still 'coming back' from North Korea
Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump was asked about his latest letter to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Trump said it was a"nice" response to Kim's birthday message to him, then began touting the progress he said he has made in relations with North Korea.The President accurately cited North Korea's decision to pause nuclear testing and to release American detainees. But then he returned to one of his repeated inaccurate statements.
As of late May, six soldiers had been identified from these cases.But Trump's use of the present tense --"that's coming back" and"they're sending them back" -- is incorrect, as is his suggestion that North Korea is currently working to identify sites and graves. The Pentagon's Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency said in May that no more remains would be coming back this fiscal year.
