In a significant prisoner swap, the Taliban has released two American detainees, identified as Ryan Corbett and William Wallace McKenty, in exchange for an Afghan Taliban member who had been held in U.S. custody. This exchange comes amidst the transition of power from the Biden administration to the Trump administration. Both men had been held in Afghanistan for over two years, and their families expressed relief at their return. The Taliban confirmed the details of the swap, stating it was part of a broader agreement with the U.S. government.
