Tony Holden, an American defense contractor, is thanking President Donald Trump after gaining his freedom from detention in Kuwait. In a video in which Holden was surrounded by loved ones, he expressed his gratitude to the president.

"I wanted you to be able to meditate on how you’ve affected, personally, lives and the difference that you’ve made," a visibly emotional Holden said. He called the team behind the efforts to bring him home "instruments" of God.
