U.S. officials say Kuwait has released 10 more American detainees in an apparent goodwill gesture. It brings to nearly two dozen the total number freed from Kuwait in the past two months. Taken together, the pardons of 23 Americans since March — done as a goodwill gesture by a U.S. ally — amounted to the largest release of U.S. citizens by a single foreign country in years. Ten others were released on March 12, weeks after a visit to Kuwait by Adam Boehler, who is serving as the Trump administration’s envoy for hostage affairs. The releases weren't done as part of a swap and the U.S. wasn't asked to give up anything in return.
