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. 🇺🇸
