The Trump Administration Just Brought Home Two More American Hostages From Yemen

National Security Advisor Robert O'Brien announced Wednesday two American hostages who were held in Yemen by Iranian backed Houthis have been released.

"The United States welcomes the release today of US citizens Sandra Loli and Mikael Gidada from Houthi custody in Yemen.  We send our condolences to the family of Bilal Fateen whose remains will be repatriated as well.  We extend our sincerest thanks to Sultan Haitham bin Tariq of Oman and King Salman of Saudi Arabia for their efforts to secure the release of our citizens," O'Brien released in a statement. "President Trump continues to prioritize securing the release and repatriation of Americans held hostage abroad.  We will not rest until those held are home with their loved ones. President Trump has brought home over 50 hostages and detainees from 22 countries since taking office."

Meanwhile, the administration and Congress continue to work to bring remaining hostages held overseas home as soon as possible.
