After enduring weeks of captivity under the Taliban, American citizen Faye Hall has been released and is now recovering at the Qatari embassy in Kabul.
President Donald Trump played a key role in securing her freedom. Hall, who was taken hostage in February, is reportedly in good health and awaiting her return to the United States. With no official U.S. embassy in Afghanistan, Qatari officials have facilitated her safe transition.
Following her release, Hall recorded a heartfelt message expressing her gratitude to President Donald Trump, crediting him for securing her freedom. In a video statement, she described her deep appreciation for the president, emphasizing her pride in being an American citizen.
A Grateful Message To Donald Trump
“Mr. President, I voted for you twice. First of all, I’m so glad you’re in office—it’s a new era,” Hall said in her video statement. “And in this situation, I’m glad you’re the president. Thank you for bringing me home. I’ve never been so proud to be an American citizen.”
President Trump responded warmly, acknowledging Hall’s words with a message of his own. “Thank you, Faye — So honored by your words!” he wrote, reflecting on her resilience and patriotism.
The news of Hall’s release sparked an outpouring of support on social media. Many users celebrated her return, admiring her strength and relief that she was safe. “Thank you for your unwavering faith, and for your strength and wisdom to survive under such circumstances. Our nation is proud you are an American!” one user wrote.
While Hall’s release marks a significant success, concerns remain over other Americans reportedly still in Taliban custody. Some sources suggest the number of captives may be higher than publicly known. The U.S. government continues efforts to secure the safe return of all American citizens held abroad.
