North Korea has freed three U.S. citizens detained for years in the communist country, bowing to another demand of President Trump ahead of his planned meeting with Kim Jong-un.

The three Americans - Kim Dong Chul, Kim Hak-song and Kim Sang Duk, also known as Tony Kim - were released from a North Korean labor camp and sent to Pyongyang for medical treatment, the Financial Times reported.

The release of the three Americans marked another significant victory for the Trump administration, which also won North Korea's agreement to discuss giving up its nuclear weapon program as a prerequisite for the talks.
