Trump welcomes freed Korean-Americans' return to US

Staging a flag-waving, still-of-the-night arrival ceremony, President Donald Trump early Thursday welcomed home three Americans freed by North Korea and declared their release a sign of promise toward his goal of de-nuclear zing the Korean Peninsula.

Trump called it a "great honor" to welcome the detainees to the US and added, "The true honor is going to be if we have a victory in getting rid of nuclear weapons."

Joined by the former detainees, Trump thanked North Korea's Kim Jong Un for releasing the Americans, and said he believes Kim wants to reach an agreement on denuclearizing the Korean peninsula. "I really think he wants to do something," the president said.
