How was Mark Fogel released from Russian detention and welcomed back to the United States?
Mark Fogel, an American schoolteacher detained in Russia for over three years on drug charges, was released through diplomatic efforts orchestrated by Trump's envoy Steve Woodkoff during a three-and-a-half hour meeting with Putin in Moscow. Upon his return to the United States, Fogel was personally welcomed by President Trump at the White House, where he was invited to stay in the prestigious Lincoln Bedroom. The emotional homecoming included Fogel kissing American ground and expressing his love for the country. Trump had previously promised Fogel's 95-year-old mother at a rally that he would secure her son's release, a commitment he fulfilled 'pretty quickly.'
