In regards to remains, there have been 229 sets returned to the United States from Korea under previous administrations.
55 potential sets were just returned under the Trump Administration. The return date kept being delayed by Kim, but they did arrive the other day and were honored with a ceremony held by VP Pence.
Defense Secretary Mattis advised caution when the remains were en-route; he said we don't know who's in the boxes. Today, it was reported that only one dog tag was included with the 55 boxes.
So, it will likely take years to determine the identifications and whether the remains are those of American Korean War soldiers.
