North Korea will begin returning remains of U.S. soldiers missing in the Korean War in the next couple of weeks, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Wednesday.

At a Cabinet meeting with President Trump, Mr. Pompeo said the U.S. has made progress in its negotiations with Pyongyang over the return of MIAs.

But he said it will take a lot more work to get to the desired goal of denuclearization.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un agreed during a summit last month with President Trump to begin returning remains of MIAs.
