US President Donald Trump has secured the release of a US Marine Corps veteran who had been detained in Russia for four years, marking a diplomatic win amid ongoing tensions between Washington and Moscow. The release forms part of continued efforts by the Trump administration to bring home Americans held abroad, and follows a pattern of high-profile prisoner negotiations conducted with the Kremlin.

The veteran, named Robert Gilman, had spent four years in Russian custody before being freed and returned to the United States. Further details of the circumstances surrounding his detention and the terms of his release were not fully specified in initial reporting.
