Washington (AFP) – President Doland Trump on Wednesday urged Turkish President Reccep Ergogan on Twitter to free an American pastor held in Turkey.

“A total disgrace that Turkey will not release a respected US Pastor, Andrew Brunson, from prison. He has been held hostage far too long. 

“@RT_Erdogan should do something to free this wonderful Christian husband & father. He has done nothing wrong, and his family needs him!” Trump tweeted.
