Finally, after an excruciatingly long wait of almost two years, it appears the incarceration of United States pastor Andrew Brunson will finally come to an end. According to NBC News, the White House has brokered a deal to secure Brunson’s freedom:
The White House expects North Carolina pastor Andrew Brunson to be released by the Turkish government and returned to the U.S. in the coming days, two years after he was detained, according to two senior administration officials and another person briefed on the matter.
Under an agreement senior Trump administration officials recently reached with Turkey, Brunson is supposed to be released after certain charges against him are dropped at his next court hearing, currently scheduled for Friday, the senior administration officials and a person briefed on the matter said.
The details of the deal are unclear, but those familiar with the discussions said it includes a commitment by the U.S. to ease economic pressure on Turkey.
The White House, however, isn’t spiking the football and celebrating just yet. They are cautiously awaiting until Brunson gets home before any congratulations are issued. According to the NBC report, Trump administration officials aren’t “fully confident” that Turkey will actually go through with the agreement.

Wonderful news !!
It’s astonishing most aren’t aware of that history.

wonderful news if true
This is most certainly related to the disappearance of prominent Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Turkey has accused Saudi Arabia of arresting Jamal Khashoggi. President Trump has taken Turkey’s side in this dispute and has provided intel that Turkey is correct.
Saudia Arabia no longer has leverage on the U.S. We don’t need their oil.
President Trump is a miracle worker. God bless President Trump.
May pastor Andrew Brunson return to his family soonest.
Mr. President, please, stop, I’m getting so tired of winning!
Endless Winning
Lord may he be freed quickly! Thank you in Your Holy Name. Amen.
My goodness this is a big moment!
Hey, I have a deal for you. Either deal with me and let this guy go or deal with Mad Dog. Your choice. I’m good.
True about Erdogan. But would the White House announce a deal if they weren’t sure?
I think he was CIA, but he’s coming home which is nice.
Imagine if Trump had friends in Washington--
Here’s the “deal,” Mr. Erdogan ... you will release our citizen by tomorrow noon - else your sh*thole country will be a glowing cinder.
Your move.
Yeah, give them billions $ like bho.
MAGA.
