    Thank you Mr. President, VP Harris, and all those from the other countries involved and all those behind the scenes that made this happen!!

    This is one of many reasons why ALLIES are important and why ISOLATIONALISM in today's days of WAR is rather stupid and dumb.
  • @user-mx8it5oc2s
    Biden is a remarkable President, a great leader, a decent human being and a real family man who's word is his bond. He saved us from a second term Trump and he's doing it again by backing hus Vice President.

    Trump could never achieve this with his isolation politics. Greetings from Norway
  • @nathanl4417
    Imagine being held prisoner for years and then immediately go perform at the Olympics...
  • Great news, good job Joe & Kamala! Much love for all the released and their families from Poland! Glad our country could help!
  • Thank you President Biden and many others who worked on bringing people home to their families. 🌊🌊🌊🌊
  • From Wales, well done Joe! A real triumph showing how effective quiet diplomacy is. Trump will be furious, because he’s a jealous child at heart.

    THANKS TO TURKEY FOR HELPING IN THIS SWAP DEAL.

    Reporter: Trump claims he would have secured this release without giving up anything in return. Dark Brandon with zero ducks to give: Why didn’t he do it when he was President? 😎
  • @user-tu4rn8ui9u
    Thank you President Biden and the entire administration. Extraordinary. Congratulations and love to the families. ❤
  • This is so impressive. Biden's ability to work with multiple leaders and make this happen is the stuff movies are made of. Historic. At 81 years old. What a heroic man. 💙💙💙💙🇺🇲

    Pretty sure this is going to be Aaron Sorkin's next screenplay 😅👏👏👏
