“I feel like born again … [and] in debt with President Trump. Thank God he’s in the White House. He got me out,” explained George Glezmann after his return to the U.S. this week.

WND reported earlier that Glezmann is the third hostage to be released by the Taliban since January.

He was taken by the Taliban in 2022 while traveling through the Middle East as a tourist.

According to the State Department, his release was negotiated by U.S. and Qatari officials, and he was accompanied back to the U.S. by Adam Boehler, who was appointed by President Donald Trump to free Americans held hostage around the world.

George Glezmann is free. George was wrongfully detained in Afghanistan for two and a half years, but now he’s on his way to be reunited with his wife Aleksandra. Welcome home, George! 🇺🇸

The release came after Boehler met with officials from the Afghan foreign ministry, the report said.

It explained Glezmann was seized by the Taliban’s “intelligence services” and Qatar was involved because it has diplomatic relations with Afghanistan while the United States does not.

Earlier this year, before he left office, Joe Biden struck a deal to give the Taliban a member in U.S. custody in exchange for American hostages Ryan Corbett and William Mckenty.

Marco Rubio, Trump’s secretary of State, said, “”George Glezmann is free. George was wrongfully detained in Afghanistan for two and a half years, but now he’s on his way to be reunited with his wife Aleksandra. Welcome home, George!”
