Washington,
D.C.
–
U.S.
Senator
Tim
Scott
(R-SC)
released
the
following
statement
after
receiving
confirmation
three
U.S.
citizens
had
been
freed
and
are
on
their
way
home
from
North
Korea:
“It
is
a
good
day
when
we
find
out
our
fellow
Americans
–
Kim
Sang
Duk,
Kim
Hak-song,
and
Kim
Dong
Chul
–
are
on
their
way
home.
There
is
no
question
this
marks
a
clear
diplomatic
win
for
the
United
States,
for
the
administration,
and
most
importantly,
for
the
families
who
will
be
reunited
with
their
loved
one.
The
developments
we
have
seen
in
talks
with
the
North
Korean
regime
are
historic,
and
although
we
must
continue
to
proceed
with
caution,
the
tone
and
direction
of
recent
discussions
have
certainly
been
promising.
We
hope
the
upcoming
summit
scheduled
for
next
month
continues
to
make
progress
in
the
right
direction.”
