Otto Warmbier's mother calls Trump administration diplomacy with North Korea a 'charade.'
Cindy Warmbier, the mother of American Otto Warmbier, the 22-year-old American student who died shortly after being brought back to the U.S. after being held for 18 months in North Korea, made an emotional appeal on Friday to keep the pressure on Kim Jong Un’s regime, calling diplomacy with a regime that"lies" a"charade."
Cindy Warmbier responded to the recent revelation that North Korea gave the U.S. a $2 million bill for her son's medical expenses when senior diplomats arrived to bring Otto home - saying had she known they wanted money, she would have paid. In March, Cindy Warmbier and her husband Fred spoke out after President Donald Trump seemed to absolve Kim of knowing about or being responsible for Otto Warmbier’s treatment and eventual death. They have said that their son was"systematically tortured" by Kim's regime.
“There’s a charade going on right now -- it’s called diplomacy. How can you have diplomacy with someone who never tells the truth? That's what I want to know, I'm all for it, but I'm very skeptical," she said.
