"They said, 'when you can, president, we'd love our son to be brought back home' -- you know, the remains."

During a Fox News interview that ran on Wednesday evening, President Trump touted an aspect of his agreement with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un that will allow for repatriation of the remains of American soldiers who died during the Korean War.
One of the things that really Im happy is that the soldiers that died in Korea, their remains are going to be coming back home, Trump said. And we have thousands of people that have asked for that thousands and thousands of people.
Its true that there are families of veterans who fell in Korea who are still trying to recover remains. But Trump then told a story about parents of Korean War veterans who purportedly approached him during the 2016 presidential campaign.
So many people asked when I was on the campaign, Trump said. Id say, wait a minute, I dont have any relationship but they said, when you can, president, wed love our son to be brought back home you know, the remains.
