Daily Mail: Trump administration agreed to pay Kim Jong-Un's regime $2 MILLION for Otto Warmbier's 'care' before he was handed over by North Korea - then stiffed dictator on the bill
* A new book claims that North Korea gave the United States a $2 million bill to cover its expenses for the care of comatose Otto Warmbier
* There are conflicting reports as to whether the bill has been paid
* Otto’s father, Fred Warmbier, said that he had not been informed about any hospital bill and it sounded like a 'ransom' for his late son
* North Korean sentenced Otto Warmbier to 15 years in jail in 2016 for stealing a poster before returning him to the U.S. in a coma in 2017
* He died shortly after of complications from the injury that are not entirely known
* Scans of Warmbier's brain before his death revealed extensive brain damage associated with unexplained trauma that U.S. neurosurgeons couldn't pinpoint
* Warmbier died on June 19, 2017, in Cincinnati, Ohio at the age of 22
The Trump administration agreed to reimburse North Korea for Otto Warmbier's care, then stiffed the rogue nation on the bill after it released the comatose student into U.S. officials' care.
North Korea surprised an American envoy with a $2 million invoice that it presented the State Department hours before Warmbier, a University of Virginia student, was flown from Pyongyang to Ohio in June 2017, two people familiar with the matter told the Washington Post.

ReplyDeleteWNU,
ReplyDeleteI heard an Army colonel being interviewed by a talk show host around 4 or 5 PM CST at WLS on 4/26/2019.
The NORKS were not paid.
What did happen is that the NORKS were paid for services rendered if past history of the last few decades is any guide. When they NORKs assist the Americans in looking for war dead, the NORKS charge astronomical prices for gas for the vehicles and for the hired help (minders). So technically they are not paid, but they are paid.
