Former Taliban Hostage Thanks Trump Administration for Securing His Freedom
American George Glezmann, freed by the Taliban, expresses gratitude to the Trump administration, saying, "Thank God he's in the White House."
Washington, D.C. — American citizen George Glezmann, who was recently freed from Taliban captivity, publicly thanked the Trump administration for securing his release. Speaking in an interview after arriving in the United States, Glezmann stated, “Thank God he’s in the White House,” in reference to President Donald Trump.
Glezmann was detained in Afghanistan and held for an extended period before negotiations led to his freedom. The details of the diplomatic efforts remain undisclosed, but sources indicate that direct engagement between U.S. officials and Taliban representatives played a critical role in securing his release.
This development marks yet another high-profile American hostage recovery under the Trump administration, which has repeatedly emphasized a tough stance on foreign adversaries while prioritizing the return of U.S. citizens held abroad.
