Thank you, Iran! Trump says 'deal is possible' after Tehran releases US Navy vet
US President Donald Trump has praised Tehran for releasing US Navy veteran Michael White, who was sentenced to 10 years in prison in 2018, hinting that the breakthrough may pave way for a new nuclear deal.
“I just got off the phone with former American hostage Michael White, who is now in Zurich after being released from Iran. He will be on a U.S. plane shortly, and is COMING HOME to the United States,” Trump tweeted on Thursday evening, before giving credit to the Islamic Republic for its cooperation in the process.
Thank you Iran, it shows a deal is possible!
