Trump Criticizes U.S.-Russia Prisoner Swap, Seeks Details on Release of Four U.S. Residents

Former President Donald Trump has criticized the recent prisoner swap between the United States and Russia. In a series of posts on Truth Social on Thursday afternoon, Trump questioned the details of the exchange, including the number of prisoners exchanged and whether any monetary transactions were involved. Trump labeled the U.S. negotiators as an 'embarrassment' and expressed concern that such deals set a 'bad precedent for the future.' Trump, who once predicted Evan Gershkovich wouldn't be freed under President Biden, reiterated that 'we never make good deals.' The historic exchange resulted in the release of four U.S. residents.
