Trump to welcome freed Korean-Americans' return to US

President Donald Trump is promising "quite a scene" when three Korean-Americans who were detained in North Korea return to the mainland US after more than a year in prison, their freedom a bonus from the warming of relations between the longtime adversaries.

Despite a middle-of-the-night landing Thursday at the Washington-area Joint Base Andrews, Trump and his wife plan to celebrate in person when the freed men arrive.

In anticipation of their arrival, red-carpeted airplane stairs stood by beneath a large American flag suspended between a pair of fire trucks.
