Trump Welcomes Marc Fogel at the White House After His Release from Russia

Former U.S. President Donald Trump hosted Marc Fogel, an American teacher who had been detained in  Russia for over three years, at the White House after the Trump administration secured his release in an exchange deal.

Fogel was imprisoned in Russia on charges related to the possession of prohibited substances. His release comes as part of a prisoner exchange agreement between the United States and Russia.

This development occurs amid growing tensions between Washington and Moscow, with the issue of detained American citizens remaining a key point of contention between the two nations.

So far, the U.S. government has not disclosed specific details about the exchange, but the event highlights the ongoing diplomatic efforts to secure the freedom of Americans detained abroad.
