Ryan Corbett’s Family Seeks Trump’s Help for His Release
[ToloNews] The family of Ryan Corbett, an American citizen detained in Afghanistan, is attempting to meet with Donald Trump
...So far he's been unkillable, and they've tried....
, President-elect of the United States, in Florida to request his assistance in securing Corbett's release.

American media reported that Ryan Corbett’s wife said her last contact with him was on New Year’s Day, and she is concerned about his health.

Anna Corbett, Ryan Corbett’s wife, stated: "I’ve been asking President Biden to meet with me and he has refused. He has met with other families and up until now, he has not met with me. After waiting that long for President Biden. I’m hoping that after a day I can meet with President Trump."

Ketsia Corbett, Ryan Corbett’s daughter, said: "It’s been really hard, and it’s been really sad. I miss him a lot, I just started college, and I just want him home soon because I miss him so much."

Ryan Corbett, an American citizen, was detained in Kabul on August 10, 2022, and has been in the custody of the Islamic Emirate ever since.

Anna Corbett added: "He has not been accused of anything and has been designated now as wrongfully detained. And he is a patriot. He is a US citizen that deserves to be in his country that he loves."

Previously, Donald Trump told Fox News that he does not support prisoner exchanges but will consider this case.

The Telegraph also reported that Afghanistan's interim government has paused prisoner exchange agreements with the US until the new government takes office in Afghanistan.

"This has no direct connection to the interactions between the two countries, but it creates better conditions. It can send a message that we can resolve our issues through dialogue and have positive engagement on many matters," said Yousuf Amin Zazai, a military analyst.

George Glezmann, Ryan Corbett, and Mahmood Habibi are American citizens currently detained in Afghanistan. Previously, senior US officials have repeatedly called for their release.

Yesterday, Afghanistan’s interim government announced that negotiations on prisoner exchanges with the US have so far yielded no results.
