Trump Continues To Deceive Families About The Remains Of Lost Soldiers Overseas

by JakeThomas

The U.S. military announced in May that North Korea had ceased communications regarding the return of soldiers' remains.

The Pentagon announced in May that its program tasked with retrieving soldiers’ remains from North Korea was suspended, after the country ceased communications with the U.S. agency responsible for the effort.

But apparently no one told President Donald Trump, because he continues claiming that North Korea is still sending the remains of American soldiers back to the United States.

In June, Trump said, "We've had, as you know, the remains of the heroes, our great heroes from many years ago -- that's coming back, and coming back as they find them, and as they find the sites and the graves, and they're sending them back.”

The president’s use of the present tense was inaccurate, as the sending back of remains had already ceased. CNN noted, however, that “North Korea returned 55 cases of possible remains in the summer of 2018.”

But in an August 9 exchange with reporters, Trump made the claim again, insisting that North Korea continues to find and return the remains of American service members.

"We got back, and we're getting back, as we speak, we're getting back a lot of our fallen heroes. You know that. They're coming back into and through Hawaii,” the president said.

However, as noted previously, the Pentagon's Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency said in May that this was no longer taking place.

“The agency said North Korea had not spoken with the agency at all since the Hanoi summit in February between Trump and Kim Jong Un, which ended abruptly,” CNN noted on Wednesday.

I love that statue and what it stands for. Our Lady of Liberty. I wish you were an honest person. We have the similar values on some things, but you are consumed by your rage and hatred of Trump. Trump has done what all Presidents are supposed to do with respect to immigration. He has executed the laws on the books and he has asked ICE and CBP to do the same. Obama also did exactly the same. The difference is that the liberal left wasn't consumed with hatred of Obama, so when he did the same things, they lauded him for it. But with Trump, they say he's instituting concentration camps. It's hypocritical and I think you know that, but you'd rather be a stooge for the lying liberal left clowns that are trying to destroy this country with open borders.
