White also revealed the first thing he wanted to do when he got home: “I’m going to Disney World.”
Michael White, a U.S. Navy veteran released after being imprisoned in Iran for nearly two years, has expressed his gratitude to President Donald Trump as he headed back to the United States.
White’s release follows months of indirect communication between Washington and Tehran over American prisoners via the Swiss government, NBC News previously reported. The Swiss government has represented U.S. interests in the country for the past four decades since the collapse of American-Iranian diplomatic relations.
White told Fox News that he had contracted coronavirus while in prison before being released on furlough. His pre-existing medical conditions made him vulnerable to COVID-19, his family had said and White’s mother had told NBC News she feared her son would die in Iran. Despite widespread speculation, both U.S. and Iranian officials denied that Asgari’s release was part of any prisoner swap.
