The call comes as Trump has offered hints that three other Americans who remain prisoners in North Korea could be freed as part of the summit preparations. The President offered a warm message to the family during their conversation, according to sources familiar with the call, the latest in his administration’s personal outreach. Otto’s parents, Fred and Cindy Warmbier, have sued North Korea in federal court, charging the Kim regime “brutally tortured and murdered” their son. “A lot of good things have already happened with respect to the hostages,” Trump told reporters on Friday. Fred Warmbier accompanied Vice President Mike Pence as part of the U.S. delegation to the Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
