President Trump just relayed a conversation he had with the president of Belarus, which sits on the border of Russia, thanking him for releasing 16 prisoners.
Trump suggested they are discussing the release of some 1,300 additional prisoners!
I had a wonderful talk with the highly respected President of Belarus, Aleksandr Lukashenko. The purpose of the call was to thank him for the release of 16 prisoners. We are also discussing the release of 1,300 additional prisoners. Our conversation was a very good one. We discussed many topics, including President Putin’s visit to Alaska. I look forward to meeting President Lukashenko in the future. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
I had no idea they had so many Americans in prison in Belarus. Perhaps they are not all Americans? I really don’t know, but typically this kind of negotiation only happens for American citizens. I look forward to learning more about this.
