But 13 years ago, in the face of deteriorating political relations, the effort was suspended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The letter, also sent to Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and Secretary of State Michael Pompeo, urges the president \u201cto do everything in your power to ensure that those who paid the ultimate price for freedom during the Korean War are finally returned home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More than 35,000 Americans died on the Korean Peninsula during that war. Of those, 7,700 are still listed as missing in action, with 5,300 believed to be on North Korean soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump and the North Korean leader are scheduled to meet on Tuesday in Singapore for a unprecedented summit between the two countries, one that Trump has said he hopes could lead to stable relations with the antagonistic North Korean leadership regime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pair are scheduled to meet face-to-face on Tuesday morning, with follow-up meetings between lower-ranking officials expected to take place later in the day.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Officials want North Korean officials to help return the remains of more than 5,000 fallen U.S. troops back to American
