The United States is working to get an American citizen found on Thursday in Syria out of the country and bring him home, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in Jordan, where he held meetings to discuss the political transition of Syria, APA reports citing Reuters.
In media reports, the man was identified as Travis Timmerman.
"In terms of American citizen who was found just today, I can't give you any details on exactly what's going to happen, except to say that we're working to bring him home, to bring him out of Syria," Blinken told reporters in Aqaba.
"But for privacy reasons, I can't share any more details about this," Blinken added.
Blinken added that the efforts to locate Austin Tice, another U.S. citizen who was abducted in Syria over a decade ago was still continuing.
"No update on Austin Tice, except to say that every single day, we are working to find him and to bring him home, making sure that the word is out to everyone that this is a priority for the United States," Blinken said.
