Rep. Carlos Curbelo (R-Fla.) praised the return of three Americans who were previously imprisoned in North Korea, but cautioned on Thursday that “concrete changes” are needed from Pyongyang.
“This is something for everyone in our country to celebrate. Anytime Americans are detained under these conditions under a rogue regime and released, it’s a good day for our country,” Curbelo told CNN’s Alisyn Camerota on “New Day.”
“Priority number one must be immediate and verifiable denuclearization. If that happens, then we can really say that this administration has changed the world,” he added.
Curbelo’s comments come hours after President Trump and first lady Melania Trump personally greeted Kim Dong-chul, Tony Kim and Kim Hak-song upon their arrival from North Korea early on Thursday at Joint Base Andrews outside of Washington.
