Former President Donald Trump today met with Ksenia Karelina, a Russian-American ballerina who was recently freed after being detained in Russia. The meeting was confirmed by a White House spokesperson. Karelina's release comes after weeks of diplomatic negotiations between the United States and Russia.
Karelina, a dual citizen, had been living and working in the United States for several years. The circumstances surrounding her detention remain somewhat unclear, though reports suggest it may have been related to alleged financial contributions to a Ukrainian organization.
The meeting between Trump and Karelina took place this afternoon. Details of their conversation have not yet been made public. The White House is expected to release a statement later this evening. This meeting highlights the ongoing complex relationship between the U.S. and Russia, particularly in cases involving dual citizens and international diplomacy.
