Marc Fogel welcomed by Donald Trump after release from Russia | BBC News

US President Donald Trump has welcomed home American schoolteacher Marc Fogel after he was released from prison in Russia.

Trump said Vladimir Putin had got "not much" in return, and said another detainee would be freed on Wednesday without giving their name.

Mr Fogel is a 63-year-old former diplomat who was working at the Anglo-American School of Moscow when he was arrested at a Russian airport in 2021 for illegal possession of cannabis.

It is unclear if the US released someone in return for Mr Fogel.
