Father Of Released American Student From North Korea Thanks Trump, Criticizes Obama Admin

Daily Wire


. . . "Warmbier went on to subtly knock the Obama Administration for their apparently unhelpful "strategic patience."
" 'When Otto was first taken, we were advised by the past administration to take a low profile, while they worked to obtain his release. We did so without resolve," he said. "Earlier this year, Cindy and I decided the time for strategic patience was over, and we made a few media appearances and traveled to Washington to meet with ambassador Joe Yun at the state department."
"The father also took the time to thank President Donald Trump, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and those at the State Department for bringing home his son. 
"Warmbier said President Trump called him on Wednesday night. 
" 'He just wanted to find out how Cindy [Warmbier] and I were doing, and wanted to know about Otto," he said. "It was a really nice conversation. It was kind. It was, 'Are you taking care of yourself?' And, 'We worked hard, and I'm sorry this is the outcome.'" . . .
