US prisoner release would be goodwill move by N. Korea

The White House said on Thursday it would welcome the release of three Americans imprisoned in North Korea as a goodwill gesture before a planned summit between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, but that it could not confirm reports that they are about to be freed.

 

Expectations have grown that North Korea would soon release the three ahead of the unprecedented summit in the coming weeks.

 

Rudy Giuliani, Trump's new main lawyer, told Fox News Channel that Pyongyang would release them as early as Thursday.

 

It was not immediately clear whether Giuliani had direct knowledge of negotiations around the issue.
