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.
