Otto Warmbier's parents slam 'Kim and his evil regime' after Trump comments

The parents of Otto Warmbier, the American college student who died in 2017 after being returned from his detention in North Korea, spoke out on Friday following President Trump's apparent defense of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un over their son's death.

"We have been respectful during this summit process," Fred and Cindy Warmbier said in a statement. "Now we must speak out."

"Kim and his evil regime are responsible for the death of our son Otto. Kim and his evil regime are responsible for unimaginable cruelty and inhumanity. No excuses or lavish praise can change that," they said.

Warmbier, a Cincinnati native and University of Virginia student, was arrested in January 2016 for allegedly stealing a propaganda poster while on a tour of Pyongyang. He was sentenced to 15 years of hard labor but later released to the United States in a vegetative state and died in June 2017.
