    yes, and Trump praised Kim and defended him on that one

    "Otto Warmbier's family speaks out against Trump's defense of Kim Jong Un in son's death"

    https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/ott...aks-trumps-defense-kim-jong/story?id=61410843

    ""I don't believe that he would have allowed that to happen," Trump said of Kim Jong Un. The president relayed what he said Kim had told him -- that Kim "didn't know about it" -- and said he would "take [Kim] at his word.""

    The one in 2020 WAS STILL under Trump's watch and the one in 2023 was under Biden.

    Be realistic. Russia is allowed to arrest Americans. It's after they have recieved their trial that we can start to dispute what is going on.

    The one arrested in 2020 had not recieved a trial yet. He was just arrested.
