U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday blasted the North Korean regime, following the death of Otto Warmbier, the University of Virginia student who was returned to the United States in a coma last week after being imprisoned in North Korea for more than 17 months.
“Melania and I offer our deepest condolences to the family of Otto Warmbier on his untimely passing. There is nothing more tragic for a parent than to lose a child in the prime of life. Our thoughts and prayers are with Otto’s family and friends, and all who loved him,” Trump wrote in a statement.
