TOKYO (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday he would work with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to bring home Japanese citizens kidnapped by North Korean agents decades ago, but family members warned him not to be duped.

Trump, during a four-day state visit to Japan, spoke at a meeting with some of the family members of the people, who were abducted to train North Korean spies in the 1960s and 1970s, North Korean defectors have said.
