American Detainees Freed By North Korea Arrive US
The announcement came hours after Trump welcomed three Americans who had been held prisoner in North Korea back home on Thursday.
US President Donald Trump said details about the time and place of his meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un would be announced "within three days".
North Korean state media says they were arrested either for subversion or "hostile acts" against the government.
"I want to pay my warmest respects to the parents of Otto Warmbier, who was a great young man who who really suffered", he said. "Sending these three Americans home before any concessions have been offered I think is a testament to the president's policy of peace through strength - strong, clear, American leadership with our allies at the table has brought us this far, and we hope it opens the way to a lasting peace". We're starting off on a new footing. He taught accounting at the Pyongyang University of Science and Technology. His return means he will be home for the birth of his first grandchild, who is due over the summer. Through a translator, Kim said he did "a lot of labor" while imprisoned.
However, South Korea's National Intelligence Service said the case wasn't related to the agency in any way.
The three had earlier given their thanks in a statement released by the State Department as their plane stopped over in Alaska.
All three appeared to be in good health and were able to walk without help, the White House said.
Trump offered a compliment to the North Korean dictator, saying "We want to thank Kim Jong-un, who really was excellent to these three incredible people". "Now we are hopeful that we can work together to resolve this conflict, take away threats to the world and make your country have all the opportunities your people so richly deserve".

Users of Sony's console had to wait quite a while to play the game due to the lack of an early access-like feature on PS4. Today, a major launch update went out across all platforms, introducing massive new areas to the game.
Three Americans freed from prison in North Korea have arrived back in the United States a day after their release.
The summit, which has been in the works since Trump accepted Kim's invitation to meet in March, will be the first ever meeting between a sitting United States president and North Korean leader. The Rodong Sinmun, the official newspaper of North Korea's Workers' Party, devoted the front page to the Kim-Pompeo meeting, with relevant photos including those showing the two shaking hands.
President Trump and one of the detainees spoke to the media following their arrival at Joint Base Andrews. Last year, North Korea tested intercontinental ballistic missiles such as the Hwasong-14 and Hwasong-15. Warmbier allegedly attempted to steal a propaganda banner from a restricted area of his hotel.
A second plane, with more robust medical equipment, accompanied them.
Remarking on the sudden shift in U.S. relations with North Korea and the upcoming summit, Trump said: "We're starting off on a new footing... he released the folks early".
In a tweet, Mr Trump wrote: "The highly anticipated meeting between Kim Jong Un and myself will take place in Singapore on June 12th".
The three men had been jailed for anti-state activities and placed in labour camps.
