Pompeo urges Turkey to release remaining detained Americans

Washington: US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo urged Turkey to quickly release other Americans in detention after it freed a pastor at the center of a crisis in relations.

"Pastor (Andrew) Brunson is finally coming home to America, following a long ordeal for the pastor and his family. We hope that the Turkish government will quickly release our other detained U.S. citizens and State Department locally employed staff," Pompeo tweeted.
