The United States is pleased to announce the successful release of Faye Hall, an American citizen who was detained in Afghanistan. The Government of Qatar has provided critical support for her safe return, and the European Union delegation in Kabul has also offered valuable assistance.
According to a statement from Secretary of State Marco Rubio, President Trump's leadership and commitment to bringing home all American detainees are unwavering. "We will not rest until all Americans detained in Afghanistan, and held hostage around the world, are brought home," Rubio said.
The U.S. government has extended its sincere gratitude to the Government of Qatar for its support of American citizens in need. The European Union delegation in Kabul also played a significant role in facilitating Hall's release.
Hall's safe return is seen as a major victory in the ongoing efforts by the Office of the Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs to secure the release of American hostages. The Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs has been closely involved in these efforts, working with international partners to resolve complex diplomatic situations.
