StoxFeed :Donald Trump thanks Kim Jong Un as North Korea transfers remains of Korean War soldiers

A White House statement about two hours earlier said: “We are encouraged by North Korea’s actions and the momentum for positive change.”

North Korea transferred 55 small, flag-draped cases carrying the suspected remains of US soldiers killed in the Korean War on Friday, officials said, a first step by Pyongyang to implement an agreement made in a landmark summit in June in Singapore.

The repatriation of remains of US soldiers missing in the 1950–53 conflict is seen as a modest diplomatic coup for US President Donald Trump because it was one of the agreements reached during his summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Singapore on June 12.

“After so many years, this will be a great moment for so many families. Thank you to Kim Jong Un,” Trump wrote on Twitter.

A White House statement about two hours earlier said: “We are encouraged by North Korea’s actions and the momentum for positive change.”
