【大紀元2019年02月26日訊】美國總統川普(特朗普)週一(2月25日)宣布,一名在也門被扣為人質一年半的美國石油工人已被釋放。
「今天我很榮幸地宣布,在也門被扣為人質18個月的美國公民Danny Burch已被釋放,並與他的妻子和孩子團聚。」川普在推文中說,「我感謝阿拉伯聯合酋長國的支持,使得Danny能夠回家。」
川普還說,Danny的釋放,反映了美國與合作夥伴取得了最好的成績。
他表示,讓被押在外的美國人質回國,是當前政府的優先事項,在他任內已經讓20名美國人質重回國內:「我們每天都在努力把美國人帶回家。我們在美國政府內部以及和我們的外國夥伴之間保持著持續和密集的外交、情報和執法合作。」
川普還強調說:「我們要繼續努力將剩下的美國人(人質)帶回家!我們不會休息。」
It is my honor today to announce that Danny Burch, a United States citizen who has been held hostage in Yemen for 18 months, has been recovered and reunited with his wife and children. I appreciate the support of the United Arab Emirates in bringing Danny home…

據福克斯報導,Danny Burch的妻子Nadia Forsa 曾在2017年投書媒體,指她當時在也門石油公司任職工程師的先生某天在沙那古城(Sana’a)突然遭人持槍綁架,「他們在光天化日之下,在眾人面前將他帶走」。#
