Russia has released former Marine Trevor Reed in a prisoner exchange for a Russian pilot imprisoned in the U.S.
“I heard in the voices of Trevor’s parents how much they’ve worried about his health and missed his presence,” Biden said. “And I was delighted to be able to share with them the good news about Trevor’s freedom.”
In his statement, Biden thanked Special Envoy for Hostage Affairs Roger Carstens, U.S. Ambassador to Russia John Sullivan and “many others across our government to ensure that Trevor came home safely.” “The negotiations that allowed us to bring Trevor home required difficult decisions that I do not take lightly,” Biden said. “His safe return is a testament to the priority my Administration places on bringing home Americans held hostage and wrongfully detained abroad.”
Biden also said his administration would continue to work to secure the release of Paul Whelan, another former U.S. Marine who is detained in Russia. Whelan was arrested in 2018 on espionage charges and“We won’t stop until Paul Whelan and others join Trevor in the loving arms of family and friends,” Biden said.
, Secretary of State Antony Blinken thanked the “many allies and partners who helped us” in the effort to secure Reed’s release, and he said the administration remains “committed to securing the freedom of all U.S. nationals wrongfully detained abroad.”
