Trump responds to civic group seeking rights for Ukraine-detained N. Korean soldiers
SEOUL -- U.S. President Donald Trump has sent a reply to a letter from a civic group seeking his support for North Korean soldiers captured and detained in Ukraine during its war with Russia, the group said Tuesday.
The Emergency Committee for the Free Repatriation of North Korean Soldiers said a U.S. unit of the group received a reply from Trump the previous day in response to a letter sent last month seeking his help to protect the detainees' rights and prevent them from being repatriated against their will, according to the group.
