“Otto’s fate deepens my administration’s determination to prevent such tragedies from befalling innocent people at the hands of regimes that do not respect the rule of law or basic human decency,” the statement said. “The United States once again condemns the brutality of the North Korean regime as we mourn its latest victim.”February 27, 2019:
Former Gov. Bill Richardson of New Mexico, an expert on North Korea who has helped free other Americans held there, said in an interview on Monday that he had met with North Korean diplomats 20 times while Mr. Warmbier was being held, and that they had never hinted that anything was amiss with Mr. Warmbier’s health.

Otto Warmbier’s parents statement after @realDonaldTrump said he believed the NK dictator didn’t know about the treatment of their son.— Maggie Jordan (@MaggieJordanACN) March 1, 2019
Fred & Cindy Warmbier was made to relive their son’s death so that Trump may continue to receive love letters from a dictator. Unpresidented. pic.twitter.com/OJJBLZ2FKV
To which the President was moved to reply:
Trump is only responsible for what Trump wants to be responsible for. He isn't even responsible for what he says, only for what he meant you to hear. It's your fault (and Obama's!) that you don't understand that.....for Otto’s mistreatment and death. Most important, Otto Warmbier will not have died in vain. Otto and his family have become a tremendous symbol of strong passion and strength, which will last for many years into the future. I love Otto and think of him often!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 1, 2019
