Trump thanks Erdogan for Brunson's release

In a statement from his account on the social Twitter network, Trump stated that this afternoon at the Oval Office he will hold a meeting with pastor Brunson, who was released yesterday.

It'll be wonderful to meet him again. He is a great Christian who has experienced a difficult experience. I would like to thank President Erdoğan for his help,”, Trump wrote.

While in a second post, Trump declared there was no agreement with Turkey in the process of releasing and return of pastor Andrew Brunson.

I don't make hostage deals. The decision on Brunson would lead to good relations between Turkey and the US”, he said.

We remember that the Turkish court sentenced him to three and a half years and a month to US pastor Andrew. Craig Brunson, who so far was in house arrest on charges of committing criminal acts and spying on terrorist organisations FETO and the PKK. Considering the time he has been in custody for nearly two years, the court decided he would be released.

After abolishing house arrest and stopping abroad, Brunson has gone to the US.
