Three American citizens who had been detained in China were released, a State Department spokesperson said Wednesday. They are Mark Swidan, Kai Li and John Leung.

Three American citizens imprisoned for years by China have been released and are returning to the United States, the White House said Wednesday, announcing a rare diplomatic agreement with Beijing in the final months of the Biden administration.

Former Wisconsin Rep. Mike Gallagher joined 'America's Newsroom' to discuss Trump's tariff threat against China and his reaction to Americans being released from detention in China.

The White House says 3 Americans long held in China have now been released from custody.

China is releasing three Americans who were "wrongfully detained," a National Security Council spokesperson says.

The three are Mark Swidan, Kai Li and John Leung, all of whom had been designated by the U.S. government as wrongfully detained.
