Tonight, I had the profound privilege of welcoming Robert Gilman home to the United States after more than four years of detention in Russia. Robert is a patriot—a former United States Marine who served our country with honor. He can now finally return to his family and receive the medical care he needs. His return is another testament to @POTUS’s extraordinary leadership and unwavering commitment to bringing Americans home. Under his leadership, Marc Fogel and Ksenia Karelina were also brought home from Russia. At the President’s direction, Secretary Marco Rubio, Adam Boehler, Sebastian Gorka, Jared Kushner and I worked closely together to secure Robert’s release. We thank President Putin for granting Robert a pardon on humanitarian grounds and for his personal engagement throughout this process. President Trump will continue fighting every day to bring ALL Americans detained abroad safely HOME. Welcome home, Robert. 🇺🇸

Honored to be part of this historic administration.

Yesterday was a historic day. The last remaining hostage in Gaza, Officer Ran Gvili, has been returned home to his family in Israel. He went out on October 7 to save lives, and yesterday he returned to rest in peace in Israel. Now, ALL 20 living hostages and all 28 deceased hostages in Gaza have now been returned to their families – a monumental, historic feat that few thought was possible. It’s thanks to the hard work of so many, but especially @POTUS, who works tirelessly for peace. This closes a painful chapter for many, and paves the way for a new future that can be defined by peace, not war, and prosperity, not destruction. It’s a new day in the Middle East, and President Trump, myself, and the entire team are committed to sustained peace and prosperity for all in the region.
