Identifying the crew member as a colonel, Trump wrote that US forces were monitoring his location “24 hours a day” and planning for his rescue.
“WE GOT HIM! My fellow Americans, over the past several hours, the United States Military pulled off one of the most daring Search and Rescue Operations in U.S. History, for one of our incredible Crew Member Officers, who also happens to be a highly respected Colonel, and who I am thrilled to let you know is now SAFE and SOUND!”
Trump said that at his direction, “the US Military sent dozens of aircraft” to retrieve him, and claimed “not a single American” was killed during the operation.
