The first lady stressed that this is part of an ongoing process and that plans are already underway to reunify more children with their families.

“A child’s soul knows no borders, no flags. We must foster a future for our children which is rich with potential, security and complete with free will. A world where dreams will be realized rather than faded by war,” Trump said.

In August, Trump wrote a “peace letter” to Russian President Vladimir Putin telling him “it is time” to protect children and future generations around the globe.
