Biden lauds US allies for 'bold and brave decisions' in Russia prisoner swap deal

President Joe Biden praises the US allies who took part in a massive East-West prisoner swap, saying they made "bold and brave decisions" to release people back to Russia. Germany, Poland, Slovenia, Norway and Turkey "stood with us," Biden says. "They made bold and brave decisions, released prisoners being held in their countries who were justifiably being held, and provided the logistical support to get the Americans home."

00:00This deal would not have been made possible without our allies.
00:03Germany, Poland, Slovenia, Norway, and Turkey, they all stepped up
00:07and they stood with us. They stood with us. And they made bold and brave decisions,
00:14released prisoners being held in their countries who were justifiably being held,
00:18and provided logistical support to get the Americans home.
00:21This is an incredible relief for all the family members gathered here. It's a relief to the
00:26friends and colleagues all across the country who have been praying for this day for a long time.
00:32The deal that made this possible was the feat of diplomacy and friendship. Friendship.
00:39Multiple countries helped get this done. They joined the difficult, complex negotiations
00:44at my request. They never gave up hope. We can't imagine what they've been through, all of you.
00:52As a matter of fact, this lady right here, I think, has been in the Oval Office with us for a while.
00:57We can't imagine their joy right now. They're home.
