U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday criticized Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan for failing to release an American pastor who is on trial in Turkey on terror-related charges.
“A total disgrace that Turkey will not release a respected U.S. Pastor, Andrew Brunson, from prison. He has been held hostage far too long. President Erdogan should do something to free this wonderful Christian husband & father. He has done nothing wrong, and his family needs him!” tweeted Trump.
