'This is a North Korean negotiating tactic,' says GovRichardson, of the $2 million bill attached to the Otto Warmbier case. 'Brooke, they don't think like we do,' he adds, noting 'they're in a delusional state...This doesn't sound right, and it's wrong.'
The bill was handed to Joseph Yun, the former State Department Special Representative for North Korea who traveled to Pyongyang in June 2017 to bring Warmbier home, the sources told CNN. Warmbier was in a comatose state at the time of his release from North Korean custody and died a few days after returning to the United States. Yun, who had orders from President Donald Trump to bring Warmbier home, signed the bill after informing then-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson about it.
" "We do not comment on hostage negotiations, which is why they have been so successful during this administration," White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said in a written response to CNN.The State Department declined to comment and referred to Sanders' response.The Washington Post was first to report that North Korea presented Yun with the invoice.
