SAEDNEWS: U.S. President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris greeted American prisoners released in a landmark prisoner exchange with Russia. A video of the event has gained widespread attention on social media, showing Joe Biden stepping onto an 'empty plane.'
According to SAEDNEWS, In a prisoner exchange deal on Thursday, U.S. President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris welcomed American detainees Evan Gershkovich, Paul Whelan, and journalist Alsu Kurmasheva, who were recently released by Russia. The freed prisoners arrived at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, where they were greeted by Biden, Harris, and other senior U.S. officials.
Prior to meeting with the released prisoners and their families, Biden and Harris held a press conference to address the occasion. After Gershkovich, Whelan, and Kurmasheva disembarked from the plane, Biden ascended the aircraft stairs. He was inside for about two minutes before stepping out to continue his conversations with the freed individuals and their loved ones.
Shortly after the event, several social media accounts shared a video that generated significant attention, suggesting that Biden entered an 'empty plane' without explanation, leaving other officials and ministers waiting outside. One post on X, by @amuse, stated, “Joe Biden climbed back up the stairs of an airplane he wasn’t supposed to be on as Kamala Harris and the Secret Service watched in disbelief. He clearly has no idea where he is or what he's doing.”
The video depicting Biden entering the “empty plane” has since gone viral, sparking a flurry of reactions online. As of now, there has been no official clarification regarding whether the plane was indeed empty when Biden entered or the reasoning behind his actions.
