Marco Rubio rolls out plan to prioritize release of American hostages

Marco Rubio is wasting no time to make it clear that he wants to work with the Trump administration to bring American hostages home.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio is rolling out plans to get American hostages held in Gaza back home.

“The safety and security of U.S. citizens is the Secretary's highest priority,” Rubio laid out in a missive sent to staff. “This includes ensuring the welfare of every hostage and wrongful detainee and bringing them home to be with their loved ones.”

Donald Trump’s administration has already had success in freeing Americans held captive by terrorists. Hours after Trump’s inauguration, the Taliban announced it would release Americans Ryan Corbett and William Wallace McKenty in exchange for one Afghan.
