Washington: Today, thanks to President Trump’s leadership and commitment to the American people, the United States welcomes home U.S. citizen Amir Amiry, who was wrongfully detained in Afghanistan. The U.S. government has expressed sincere gratitude to Qatar, whose strong partnership and tireless diplomatic efforts were vital to securing his release.
According to EMM, this homecoming reflects the Administration’s determination, reinforced by the President’s recent Executive Order, to protect U.S. nationals from wrongful detention abroad. While this marks an important step forward, additional Americans remain unjustly detained in Afghanistan. President Trump has vowed not to rest until all captive citizens are brought back home. This release today is seen as a significant step by the administration in Kabul toward achieving that goal.
