Kuwait frees group of jailed Americans, representative says
Briefly

Kuwait has released a group of American prisoners, including veterans and military contractors, imprisoned for drug-related charges, viewed as a gesture of goodwill. This release coincides with efforts from the Trump administration to bring American citizens home from abroad, highlighted by envoy Adam Boehler's visit.
