Father of Freed North Korean Prisoner Praises Trump, Knocks Obama: ‘The Results Speak for Themselves'
[Free Beacon] The father of the American who was recently sent home from North Korea praised the Trump administration on Thursday after his son was released and said the Obama administration's "results speak for themselves."Fred Warmbier spoke to the media about his son Otto's comatose state and imprisonment by the North Korean regime. After thanking Sen. Rob Portman (R., Ohio) for his support and assistance, Warmbier recounted how his son was freed. "When Otto was first taken, we were advised by the past administration to take a low profile while they worked to obtain his release," Warmbier said. "We did so without result. Earlier this year, Cindy and I decided the time for strategic patience was over, and we made a few media appearances and traveled to Washington to meet with Ambassador Joe Yun at the State Department." He said it was his understanding that Ambassador Yun, at the direction of President Donald Trump, "aggressively pursued resolution of the situation." "They have our thanks for bringing Otto home," he said. Posted by: Besoeker 2017-06-16 |
