An Egyptian American charity worker who was imprisoned in Cairo for three years and became the global face of Egypt’s brutal crackdown on civil society returned home to the United States late Thursday after the Trump administration quietly negotiated her release.
President Trump and his aides worked for several weeks with Egyptian President Abdel Fatah al-Sissi to secure the freedom of Aya Hijazi, 30, a U.S. citizen, as well as her husband, Mohamed Hassanein, who is Egyptian, and four other humanitarian workers.

Where was the Seditious Muslim POS on this one?
The Muslim would look good in a fashionable, snug-fitting hemp necktie...
WSJ: Aid Worker Returns to U.S. After Release From Egyptian Jail
Trump administration intervened to secure release of Aya Hijazi, arrested in 2014 on child-abuse and human-trafficking charges
Now, President Trump needs to work on getting our kidnapped American citizens home from Saudi Arabia.
“Now can he get the guy out of NK that was sentenced to 15 years hard labor for destroying a propaganda poster”
He is a major negotiating point for the Norks. Hopefully we don’t give up the bank to get him back. Difficult place to be for Parents.

gave the Norks a pretext to take a hostage. Any American who voluntarily sojourns in North Korea does so at his own risk. He voluntarily removed himself from the aegis of American diplomacy. Ditto for Iran, and at least half a dozen other hellholes.
Remember that Marine that was in the Mexican jail for years, and obama did nothing?
I remember that Marine who was totally abandoned to his fate by Obummer, castlegreyskull. Also remember that Trump, a private citizen at the time, helped by funneling money to the Marine’s family before the Marine finally got released.
