Relation Jeopardy

President Donald Trump has acknowledged the several American men being held captive in North Korea. Those men being Kim Dong-Chul who has been in custody since 2016, Tony Kim has taken in custody in 2017, and Kim Hak-Song who was taken into custody in  May of 2017, each with a different accusation for why they are being held. This is nothing new for North Korea though, typically detaining visitors with the accusation being they have undermined the state or anti-state crimes. This as well as the upcoming Summit where South Korean leader Moon Jae-In will be having a meeting with the leader of North Korea, Kim Jong Un, in order to work out the disagreements between the two government and its steadily growing tension between them. There will also be another meeting where both Kim Jong Un and Donald Trump will be sitting down to discuss their government relations with each other. The detained citizenship might be able to digress though as they are “going on tours, receiving medical treatment and eating good food” as stated by AFP cited source and South Korean activist Choi Sung Ryong. The president has also expressed his desire for the three men to be returned home soon. There are even negotiations happening which are trying to release Kim Dong-Chul who has been detained since 2015. This is good for us as a country because the President is basically our international relations with other countries whilst also representing us as a collective, with his upcoming meeting and desire to help these men the U.S. will hopefully stop being seen as an enemy to some nations. Do you think that the three men's rights even if they were in a different country were justly infringed on even though they were mainly accusations and suspicions? Also recently President Trump has been acting upon his own reasoning and advice from his administration on handling foreign affairs, do you believe at this point does he have the justification to be the mediator of us with foreign affairs or that someone else more qualified; who also stands with the peoples thoughts, should be that spokesperson?
