On the first night of the Republican National
Convention, Trump broadcasts how he has secured American citizens, who were
detained abroad.
US President Donald Trump has acknowledged India for tuning in to his
solicitation to deliver an American pastor who was captured in October on
charges of conveying $40,000 of undeclared cash.
Donald Trump thanks India at
the Republican National Convention:
Tennessee pastor Bryan Nerren, who was delivered by India after intercession by Trump in May, went to a round table with the President in the Oval Office of the White House alongside a few other American residents who were delivered from abroad kidnappings and detentions. Trump said, “India reacted very well to my request. Appreciate that” as he showed up in a taped gathering with a group of US residents who were snatched or kept abroad.
American Citizen was arrested
in India for carrying undeclared currency:
The taped roundtable was
broadcast on Monday, during the principal night of the four-day Republican
National Convention.
Nerren clarified that he had been captured by Indian authorities while going in
the nation. Nerren, from the International House of Prayer Ministries, was
captured in Bagdogra, West Bengal, in October and accused of abusing the
Foreign Exchange Management Act for going with $40,000 of undeclared money. He
got bail on 11 October. On 31 December 2019, Indian Customs gave a show-cause
notice appropriating the $40,000 and forcing a punishment of Rs3 lakh
(generally $4,000). In January, Nerren gave up the whole sum and paid the fine.
Following months of diplomatic efforts, Nerren was released and permitted to
get back to the US on 15 May 2020.

Trump for his diplomatic efforts:
The individuals who showed up in the taped gathering with Trump included Michael White, a US Navy veteran who was captured in July 2018 while visiting his sweetheart in Iran, and Sam Goodwin, a world explorer who entered northern Syria from Iraq on 25 May 2019 and was arrested for not having a visa. Other people who showed up on the video were Andrew Brunson, a minister, and Joshua and Tamara Holt.
