SEOUL, May 9 (Yonhap) -- North Korea is expected to release three U.S. citizens held in the communist state on Wednesday, an official from Seoul's presidential office Cheong Wa Dae said, in an apparent goodwill gesture ahead of a historic meeting between its leader Kim Jong-un and U.S. President Donald Trump.

The official said U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was expected to return with the exact time of the Trump-Kim summit, along with the three U.S. captives in North Korea.

"We expect him to bring the date, time and the captives," the official said, while speaking on condition of anonymity.

Pompeo arrived in Pyongyang earlier in the day, according to reports, marking his second trip to the reclusive North in less than a month.

Trump earlier said the location of his meeting with Kim has already been set.

I guess they are stringing out the releases to milk it for publicity. However, don’t worry, the MSM is going to bury the hostage release behind Stormy Daniels buttocks anyhow.

While Trump has the little fat boy with the funny haircut by the short hairs, Pompeo needs to secure the release of the USS Pueblo, now held for over 50 years, still considered a commissioned U.S. Naval ship!
