Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2019 Remarks to United States
Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2019 Remarks to United States Troops at Osan Air Base in Pyeongtaek, South Korea June 30, 2019 The President. Thank you very much, Osan. Thank you very much. This is great. Oh, that sounds good. But the other, actually, even sounds better, I have to say. Thank you very much. And at ease. At ease, everybody. We're going to have some fun. [Laughter] So we're about 2½ hours late. I understand, instead of losing people, you actually gained people; I don't know how that worked, but I know it worked. You've got a hell of a lot of people here. A lot of great—a lot of great military—military people. So it was a little unexpected. We'll tell you—we're not going to—oh, look at all that media back there. Wow, that's a lot of media. [Laughter] That's a lot. We have a lot of media following us. We're doing a great job. And I'll tell you, you're doing a great job, and so important. But the reason: I met with Kim Jong Un. And we had a great meeting, because we're all in this together. We want to get this thing solved. It's been going on for a long time. And we had a great meeting. And it was unexpected. I put out yesterday: Maybe I'll meet with Chairman Kim. And he saw it. Social media. A pretty powerful thing, social media. And we just left. And I said, "You know, this was unexpected, and we're going to keep a lot of thousands of great military people waiting." But that's what you do; you love your country.

The entry of the Chinese and Soviet communist forces and Photo by Phil Hunt weapons into the war created difﬁculties for American forces, particularly with the introduction of the swept-wing MiG-15. In December 1950, the US, realizing the possibility of losing control of the skies, quickly rushed three squadrons of F-86 Sabres to the Far East. At right, the 16th Fighter-Interceptor Squadron’s A Flight departs MiG Al- ley—an area near the Yalu River in North Korea famed for air-to-air combat. The Sabres are returning to Suwon AB, South Korea, after a routine combat air patrol. The Huff, shown at left, was assigned Photo Manney by J.W. to Lt. James L.
