    Hopefully, realizing who they are dealing with, NK isn't actually expecting to be paid.

    Given Trump's history of Bankruptcy, weaseling out of debts, and stiffing contractors.

    Well, it's not like Kim was ever giving up his nukes or actually letting the student/kid live anyway.

    Wambler became a political pawn by going over there,
    and Trump thought he could score bigly by securing his release.
    Kudos for the state department official for actually speaking the truth.

    Obama would have just paid it even though the guy was essentially dead when we got him back. No wonder Biden asked Obama NOT to endorse him.

    Warmbier was taken while Obama was president? Why didn’t Obama get him out?

    Obama was a worthless, chain smoking, slug.

    I am trying to figure out why this is a thing with anyone, especially Leftists. Trump got prisoners released and the poor kid back from North Korea. Who the hell cares about an unpaid $2 Million bill to North Korea? This is like having a broken leg an worrying about a toe nail.

    Especially with Obama paying Iranians hundreds of millions of dollars in cash.

    I agree. Some people are so fixated in finding fault with Trump that they go to ridiculous extremes. If Trump was able to get the kid back by promising to pay NK $2 mill....and then never paid it...I would say that was a great move on his part.

    I don't care much. It's insignificant, and even less so if we never pay it.

    Except he did not pay, so I guess Trump upheld that tradition.

    I think it will keep coming up

    Maybe trump didnt know about it

    Tillerson was overseeing the negociations

    But promising the NKs $2 mil was a mistake

    I think it falls under the umbrella of paying ransom. And even if not he said he'd pay the thing. I guess that was where NK screwed up, he should do what he said he'd do and pony up.

    So, you’re mad that Trump promised to pay a despot like Kim 2 million, got a dying American hostage that Obama left to rot, and didn’t end up paying?
    Wow, you folks will partisan on damn near anything, huh?

    Why would he pony up, when North Korea is under sanctions, and giving Kim cash would be breaking those sanctions. If the North Koreans were dumb enough to fall for a ruse, that’s their problem, not ours.
