Last night, at my direction, the United States military conducted a successful operation to rescue an American hostage in Nigeria, kidnapped just 96 hours earlier. United States Special Forces executed a daring nighttime operation to rescue their fellow American with exceptional skill, precision, and bravery. No United States Service Members were harmed. The former hostage is currently in good health and has been reunited with his family.
Securing the freedom of Americans held in captivity abroad has been a top national security priority of my Administration. Since the beginning of my Administration, we have rescued over 55 hostages and detainees in more than 24 countries. Todays operation should serve as a stark warning to terrorists and criminal thugs who mistakenly believe they can kidnap Americans with impunity.
god bless america and donald trump our president
Wouldn’t it be nice if the LSM had widely reported on all those rescues? You know they would have for zero-who is NOT a hero.
God bless our warriors.
Yes just one!
All the rest were killed.
“I hope they killed a few bad guys in the process.”
Only those that were home when the Seal Team came for the hostage...
Six of the seven kidnappers dead, no American casualties.
Good! It would only be a better object lesson if he had to watch.
Loose lips sink ships.
Our SEAL Teams are better off and more comfortable doing what They do best in incognito. Safer for All involved. I’m sure They would prefer Prayers over publicity.
