(CNN) - The release of three US nationals currently detained in North Korea is "imminent," according to an official with knowledge of the ongoing negotiations.
The official told CNN the North Koreans made the decision to free the Americans two months ago, and that North Korea's Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho had proposed their release during his visit to Sweden in March.
US officials insisted at the time that their release "must not be related or used to loosen the main issue of denuclearization," the source said.
The three Americans, Kim Dong Chul, Kim Hak-song and Kim Sang Duk, also known as Tony Kim, have been detained in North Korea for months.

noise. The third was arrested before Trump was elected. Whatever, they must all have been terrified that they could be there for decades, or until they died. Look at what happened to that poor boy who was shipped home in a coma to die. These are the only Americans we know of.
So, great! And yes, more Nobel noise can be expected. Oh, well.
