“…the $2 million bill for the care of Warmbier, who was in a coma the entire time he was in North Korean custody, sat in the Treasury Department unpaid for about a year, and it is unclear if it was ever paid.”
Multiple sources are reporting it was never paid.

Trump NEVER pays his bills.
Report: Trump OKed Agreement That US Would Pay Otto Warmbier’s Hospital Bill Ransom
FIFY
why the secrecy… why the lies… why the denials…
because this had everything to do with spinning it to dotard’s advantage… dotard is so mighty and strong and that kim was so impressed by his majesty that he felt remorse for what happened and, of course, the least he could do was return the body.
that is how depraved and vile dotard is. hell, he even exploited the family and their pain in his sotu speech. this has nothing to do with the warmbier family.
trump is the most vile and contemptible scumbag to ever in that past and in the future to occupy the white house.
And his supporters will love him for it - “Ha! He hoodwinked them by agreeing to pay and then not doing it!”
You have to believe representatives and leaders of foreign nations sit with Trump, or talk on the phone, and think to themselves “I can’t trust a damned thing this bellicose idiot is saying to me, how in the hell am I supposed to make progress on (fill in the blank)?”
Did he pay the ransom or not? This is easy to discover. Dems just ask for the WH to supply details around this issue. If the WH refuses, then we know he paid the ransom.
“Trump OKed Agreement That US Would Pay Otto Warmbier’s Hospital Bill.”
Later, Trump paid bail for the women who murdered Kim’s brother with nerve agent.
Also the vet bills for that pack of dogs that ate his uncle.
And the dry-cleaning bill on uniforms for those generals he used as artillery targets.
Ha…is that really how he killed his uncle? I hadn’t heard that lol
Went out like Ramsay Bolton…ouch…
Maybe Treasury gave Trump the money, and he just never paid the money…
"White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told the Post that the White House would not comment on “hostage negotiations, which is why they have been so successful during this administration.”
soooo… dotard agreed to pay ransom and then never cut the check; or he agreed to pay ransom and hit up the u.s. taxpayer for it.
either way, dotard proved what a pathetic tool he is. opponents will think they can kidnap u.s. citizens and get a hefty payout; or, that any deal they cut with him cannot be trusted to be carried out, so why even negotiate.
DPRK will snitch, it’s just a matter of time.
Dogs are always eating Asian people. Been going on for years. Pugs and shepherds display them at their canine street markets, in cages. You can have one slaughtered for you while you wait. I saw it on National Geographic.
That’s hilarious…errrr…I mean horrifying. The POTUS’s best buddy is a freak whackjob.
Ah well, imagine if Obama had paid ransom to get someone back?
If true, it is the one good example of this trait in Trump. Whether it is true or not, I bet we will see Kim back at the begging table as soon as he can arrange it.
North Korea doesn’t recognize Kenyan currency.
