President Donald Trump made a shocking statement Thursday morning, absolving North Korean leader Kim Jong Un of responsibility in the death of American hostage Otto Warmbier.
Warmbier was held captive in North Korea for more than a year after being accused of stealing a North Korea propaganda poster during a university trip to Pyongyang in 2016. During his captivity, the then-21-year-old Warmbier was so mistreated that he sustained permanent phsyical damage, rendering him nearly comatose, unable to walk, speak, or even breathe without medical assistance.
