Trump Administration Celebrates Release of More Detained Americans

Trump administration officials this week celebrated the return of dozens of U.S. citizens detained abroad who have been released in the first 100 days of the president's second term.
“Thanks to @POTUS's leadership, Belarus has released another wrongfully detained U.S. citizen,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Wednesday in reference to the release of Youras Ziankovich.
Youras Ziankovich was arrested in Moscow in 2021 and then was brought to Belarus’s capital Minsk, where he was accused of being part of a US-backed coup plot against Belarus’ strongman leader Alexander Lukashenko. The US State Department denied any such involvement.
Ziankovich had been declared wrongfully detained in February 2025. There was not a prisoner swap that led to his release, Boehler and the unnamed official said.
“No exchange,” Boehler told CNN Wednesday. “It really was an open mindedness to have a discussion, but I think it’s real hard for us to have discussions when people are holding Americans.”
Belarus – which has been isolated from the West – is interested in “trying to warm relations with the United States,” and “they know that President Trump is not going to do anything if they’re holding Americans.”
“We’ve made that clear” across the interagency, Boehler said. (CNN)
"No president has done so much, so quickly, to keep Americans safe abroad,” Rubio added. "In just 100 days, we've also secured the release of 47 unjustly detained Americans around the world – including in Afghanistan, Russia, and Venezuela – through high-level diplomatic efforts."
Kuwait has also released nearly two dozen detained Americans in the past two months.
