Sunday’s comments were among the very few the North has made since Trump agreed in March to the meeting. He also criticized Washington for its ongoing “pressure and military threats” and its position that such pressure won’t be eased until North Korea gives up its nuclear weapons completely. Before Trump meets Kim, Washington is hoping to gain the release of three Korean-Americans accused of anti-state activities. Trump hinted the release of Kim Dong Chul, Kim Hak Song and Tony Kim was in the offing. There was no sign of an imminent release on Sunday, though the men had reportedly been moved to the capital.
