A long-held American hostage, previously identified as a retired educator, has been freed without any conditions, according to the president. The release follows months of uncertainty and diplomatic efforts, with officials confirming no prisoner exchange was part of the process. Details remain limited, but the development marks a significant shift in the hostage’s prolonged captivity. Authorities have yet to provide further context on the circumstances surrounding the release.
The 74-year-old former teacher has been released without any "swap" required, Trump says.
