There the painstaking process of matching bone fragments, personal items or other potential DNA sources, such as teeth, with DNA samples it has collected from surviving family members would begin, in order to identify the remains and begin the process of reuniting them with their families.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">North Korea has allowed the return of war remains previously. North Korea allowed 33 previous field investigations between 1996 to 2005 to document and if possible recover remains from crash sites or other locations. In those instances DoD pays for the recovery and repatriation but does not pay to obtain remains or obtain information leading to remains, the agency said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cShould high level U.S.-[North Korea] negotiations result in the resumption of field operations, subsequent planning and logistical discussions would be conducted to determine how they would be executed,\u201d the agency said on its webpage. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In his press conference following the Singapore summit, Trump said the outreach from families moved him to request the remains be added to the U.S. official request. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><font>\u201cThey want the remains of their sons back and remains of their fathers and mothers,\u201d Trump said last week. \u201c<\/font><font>The remains will be coming back.
