Darlene Superville, The Associated PressWASHINGTON -- The parents of an American college student who died following months of detention in North Korea rebuked U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday, saying Kim Jong Un "and his evil regime" are responsible for their son's death.
Fred and Cindy Warmbier pushed back in a statement Friday, saying they had remained silent earlier this week while Trump and Kim met in Vietnam. "Now we must speak out," they said. The 22-year-old University of Virginia student died in June 2017 after being returned home in a vegetative state. His parents have said he was tortured. The suburban Cincinnati youth was visiting North Korea with a tour group when he was detained in 2016 for allegedly stealing a propaganda poster.
