Trump trusts Kim Jong Un's 'word' that he was unaware of Otto Warmbier's mistreatment
President Donald Trump on Thursday said he trusted North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's assurance that he was unaware of the circumstances leading to the 2017 death of Otto Warmbier, the American student imprisoned by North Korea.
“What happened is horrible. I really believe something really bad happened to him and I don't think the top leadership knew about it,” the president told reporters after his second summit with Kim, adding that “I did speak about it and I don't believe that he would have allowed that to happen — it just wasn’t to his advantage to allow that to happen.”
But his comments Thursday were still remarkable, especially in light of his rhetoric on the situation in the past.
