Trump: ‘The People of South Korea Built this Country into What Is Today One of the Great Nations of the World’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
TRUMP: "By the time the armistice was signed in 1953, more than 36,000 Americans had died in the Korean war, with more than 100,000 others very badly wounded. They are heroes, and we honor them. We also honor and remember the terrible price the people of your country paid for their freedom. You lost hundreds of thousands of brave soldiers and countless innocent civilians in that gruesome war. Much of this great city of Seoul was reduced to rubble. Large portions of the country were scarred severely, severely hurt by this horrible war. The economy of this nation was demolished. But as the entire world knows, over the next two generations, something miraculous happened on the southern half of this peninsula. Family by family, city by city, the people of South Korea built this country into what is today one of the great nations of the world, and I congratulate you."
