Biden says UAE facilitated Griner release
President Joe Biden said Thursday that the United Arab Emirates facilitated Brittney Griner's release from Russia in a prisoner swap.
Biden thanked the UAE "for helping us facilitate Brittney's return, because that's where she landed" en route back to the United States. Biden said the basketball star would be back home within 24 hours.
