Fine. They can have Brittney Griner.

Asked whether the US made any concessions to North Korea for the transfer, officials emphatically said no.

“The answer is simple: There were none. Full stop,” the senior official said.
US military officials have said that King “willfully and without authorization” crossed into North Korea in July. King had been released from a detention facility in South Korea just over a week before running across the demarcation line – punishment which appeared to stem from an October 2022 incident in which he allegedly pushed and punched a victim in the face at a club in Seoul, according to court documents.
...
North Korea claimed on Wednesday that King has “confessed that he illegally intruded into the territory of the DPRK as he harbored ill feeling against inhuman maltreatment and racial discrimination within the U.S. army and was disillusioned about the unequal U.S. society.”

Plot twist: North Korea realized the U.S. didn't give two shits about this asshole and gave him back voluntarily. They figure he'll do more damage there than in a NK gulag.

NK: We want $5 million!

USA: Yeah, no, he's yours. All yours.

(1 month later)

NK: In the spirit of harmony and better relations, we will release him.

USA: We want $5 million.
