American teacher Marc Fogel, detained in Russia for three years on drug charges, is freed and meets Trump.

American teacher Marc Fogel was released from Russian custody and welcomed at the White House by former President Donald Trump. Fogel had been imprisoned for three and a half years for drug smuggling, carrying medically prescribed marijuana. Trump, who facilitated his release, called it a show of good faith from Russia and hoped it could lead to an end to the Ukraine war. Another American hostage is expected to be freed soon, though details are undisclosed.
