    Three Americans detained in North Korea arrived at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland and were greeted by President Donald J. Trump, First Lady Melania, and a host of service members, May 10.

    Kim Dong Chul, Kim Hak-song and Kim Sang Duk arrived at JBA on an 89th Airlift Wing C-32 high-priority personnel transport at approximately 2 a.m. EST after being released from a North Korean prison May 9 during Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s most recent visit to Pyongyang.

    The men had been detained for more than a year.

    Joint Base Andrews is the home of the 89th AW, which executes special missions such as these on a routine basis while enabling national interests through global transportation for America’s senior leaders.
