The three US prisoners held in North Korea are on their way back to the United States.
The freed prisoners will arrive at Andrews Air Force Base outside of Washington at 2:00 AM.
President Trump made the announcement this morning.
The freed Americans touched down in Alaska Wednesday evening, Fox News reported.
They released a statement through the State Department thanking God, President Trump and others then said, “God Bless America, the greatest nation in the world.”
“We would like to express our deep appreciation to the United States government, President Trump, Secretary Pompeo, and the people of the United States for bringing us home. We thank God, and all our families and friends who prayed for us and for our return. God Bless America, the greatest nation in the world.”
In January 2016 during the presidential campaign businessman Donald Trump lectured Barack Obama on deal-making. Donald Trump condemned Obama for not forcing the Iranian regime to release US prisoners before any deal was made.
Today Trump came through with another promise and the American hostages are coming back home.
