Trump: ‘American and South Korean Soldiers Have Fought Together, Sacrificed Together, Triumphed Together’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
TRUMP: "Through this entire visit it has been both our pleasure and our honor to create and celebrate a long friendship between the United States and the republic of Korea. This alliance between your nations was forged in the crucible of war and strengthened by the trials of history. From the incheon landings to pork chop hill, American and south Korean soldiers have fought together, sacrificed together, and triumphed together. Almost 67 years ago in the spring of 1951, they recaptured what remained of this city where we are gathered so proudly today. It was the second time in a year that our combined forces took on steep casualties to retake this capital from the communists. Over the next weeks and months, the men soldieed through steep mountains and bloody, bloody battles. Driven back at times, they willed their way north to form the line that today divides the O pressed and the free, and there, American and south Korean troops have remained together holding that line for nearly seven decades."
