Families of abductees in North Korea meet with U.S. official

The families of Japanese nationals abducted by North Korea over a decade are meeting with U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau, urging cooperation for the return of their loved ones. Head of the family group, Takuya Yokota, emphasized the urgency, stating that there is little time left for the abductees' parents to act and that this meeting will serve as significant pressure on Kim Jong Un. The group originally planned to meet with State Secretary Marco Rubio but had to cancel due to Rubio’s attendance at Donald Trump’s speech.
