During a solo press conference on Tuesday held shortly after the heads of state met in person for the first time, Trump said the gathering at the Capella Hotel on Sentosa Island “would not have happened” without Otto Warmbier’s tragic death.
Our heart breaks for the Warmbier family. May they take some comfort in Trump’s kind words about their son.
