【大纪元2019年02月26日讯】美国总统川普（特朗普）周一（2月25日）宣布，一名在也门被扣为人质一年半的美国石油工人已被释放。
“今天我很荣幸地宣布，在也门被扣为人质18个月的美国公民Danny Burch已被释放，并与他的妻子和孩子团聚。”川普在推文中说，“我感谢阿拉伯联合酋长国的支持，使得Danny能够回家。”
川普还说，Danny的释放，反映了美国与合作伙伴取得了最好的成绩。
他表示，让被押在外的美国人质回国，是当前政府的优先事项，在他任内已经让20名美国人质重回国内：“我们每天都在努力把美国人带回家。我们在美国政府内部以及和我们的外国伙伴之间保持着持续和密集的外交、情报和执法合作。”
川普还强调说：“我们要继续努力将剩下的美国人（人质）带回家！我们不会休息。”

据福克斯报导，Danny Burch的妻子Nadia Forsa 曾在2017年投书媒体，指她当时在也门石油公司任职工程师的先生某天在沙那古城（Sana’a）突然遭人持枪绑架，“他们在光天化日之下，在众人面前将他带走”。#
