The Hermit Kingdom sentenced an American college student to several
years of hard labor for stealing a propaganda sign, and then failed
to protect him from harm. Sweden was instrumental in getting him
released and repatriated to the USA, where he died days later upon
arrival due to injuries sustained.
Kim Jong-Un claims he knew nothing about it (the American college
student being imprisoned and mortally wounded). Donald Trump says
he believes his pen pal was telling the truth.
News later reported by the news media that $2 million USD was paid
by the Trump administration to The Hermit Kingdom in order to obtain
his release.
No mention was made about Sweden's involvement, but it is clear
that some entity had to have made the exchange of funds.
