North Korea expected to return remains of hundreds of US soldiers

North Korea may soon return a first out of 200 sets of remains of American soldiers who died during the Korean War, after an agreement reached last week by Kim Jong-un and Donald Trump, a US official said on Tuesday. "Preparations continue" to receive the remains, the US official told AFP on condition of anonymity. "It could happen in the next few days." The US and North Korean leaders agreed to the repatriations during their historic June 12 summit in Singapore. "On several occasions in the past, DPRK officials have indicated they possess as many as 200 sets of remains they had recovered over the years," the Pentagon said in a factsheet updated on Monday about those reported missing in action during the Korean War of 1950-1953. "The commitment established within the Joint Statement between President Trump and Chairman Kim would repatriate these as was done in the early 1990s and would reinforce the humanitarian aspects of this mission."
