The United States is expecting North Korea to return up to 200 sets of remains of American servicemen who died during the Korean War. 

Quoting U.S. government officials, CNN reported on Tuesday that planning is under way to receive the remains from North Korea in the coming days, although the actual transfer date and location have not been finalized. 

The officials said that the administration is ready to receive the remains as early as this week if the North Koreans decide to move quickly.

CNN said that President Donald Trump has held up North Korea's agreement to return the remains as one of the successes of his historic summit with Kim Jong-un in Singapore.
