Trump welcomed the return of the former U.S. Marine from Russia, saying that Vladimir Putin had agreed to release him on humanitarian grounds, without a prisoner exchange.
Earlier, the White House and the State Department called on Moscow to release Robert Gilman so that he could receive treatment in the United States after his family warned that the 32-year-old man was on the verge of death.
The veteran is currently on his way to a military hospital in Texas, where he will undergo medical and psychological examinations and receive treatment.
Trump said that all Gilman asked for after returning to the United States was a cheeseburger.
"I just spoke with him, and he had one request—a great cheeseburger when he lands. I’ll take care of that!" Trump emphasized.
