After the U.S. negotiated a deal with Russia for former U.S. Marine Trevor Reed to be released, people are curious about where WNBA star Brittney Griner is.
Reed was detained in Russia for three years. Now he is released and asking social media to bring light to Griner’s imprisonment in Moscow.
Biden tweeted about Reed’s release.
“Today, we welcome home Trevor Reed and celebrate his return to the family that missed him dearly. A former U.S. Marine, he is now free from Russian detention. I was delighted to be able to share with his family the good news about Trevor’s freedom.”
He talked about how eager he is to rescue other Americans in Russia in a follow-up tweet.
“I’m grateful for the work of many across our government. Trevor’s safe return is a testament to the priority we place on bringing home Americans held hostage and wrongfully detained abroad.”
He hinted at Brittney Griner and another former U.S. Marine, Paul Whelan. Griner should be released soon. Her next expected hearing is May 19, and reports show that she will be held at least until then.
Griner is being detained in Russia after there was trouble boarding a flight. She allegedly was carrying hash vape cartridges in her luggage at the Moscow airport. In her off-season of Phoenix Mercury, she plays in Russia.
