Freed American prisoners welcomed by Biden and Harris
A historic exchange with Russia, but Trump accuses: "How much did we pay?"The three American prisoners freed by Russia in a historic exchange have returned to the United States. Welcoming journalist Evan Gershkovich, colleague Alsu Kurmasheva and former Marine Paul Whelan were greeted by President Joe Biden and Deputy Kamala Harris upon disembarking from the plane at Andrews base near Washington.
But Donald Trump's voice on Truth insinuated that the pact is unfavorable to Washington and that money was paid, which «is a bad precedent for the future", the accusation, even if the circumstance was excluded by the national security advisor Jake Sullivan. (HANDLE).
«When will they publish - he asks in a post - the details of the prisoner exchange with Russia? How many people do we take compared to them? Are we even paying them in cash? Are they giving us money (please delete this question, because I'm sure the answer is no)? Are we freeing assassins, killers or criminals? I'm just curious why we never do good business in anything, but especially in hostage exchanges. Our 'negotiators' are always an embarrassment to us! «I brought home many hostages - he continues - and I didn't give a penny to the opposing country. Doing so sets a bad precedent for the future. This is how it should be, or this situation will get worse and worse. They are extorting money from the United States of America. They're calling the exchange 'complex,' so no one can understand how serious it is."
