Trevor Reed, the former Marine who was detained in Russia for nearly three years, has now arrived back in the United States.
In exchange for Reed's release on Wednesday, the U.S. agreed to return Konstantin Yaroshenko, a Russian pilot serving a 20-year federal prison sentence in Connecticut for conspiracy to smuggle drugs into the U.S.
— Rep. August Pfluger April 28, 2022 "Well, it was overwhelming to see the joy on Paula and Joey Reed’s face to understand just how hard they had worked," he said in an interview on Fox News."How tirelessly they had made every effort possible to bring their son home. And, you know, it’s a good news story in America. President Biden did the right thing here. And to realize a Marine is back on American soil, the country that he loves, was just incredible. It really was a moment.
The efforts of Reed's parents to raise awareness about their son's plight gained new intensity upon reports that Trevor's health had been deteriorating. He had COVID-19, and his father told the Washington Examiner last month that his son had shown signs of contracting tuberculosis and needed medical attention.
The president and Reed's parents met last month after they got Biden's attention outside of his motorcade weeks earlier, which led to a phone call between them.
