United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken publicly commented Sunday on reports that WNBA star Brittney Griner is being held in Russia.
Griner was reportedly arrested for having vape cartridges containing hashish oil in her luggage while traveling at Sheremetyevo International Airport near Moscow
“There’s only so much I can say, given privacy considerations at this point,” Blinken said at a joint press availability with Moldovan President Maia Sandu.
Blinken intentionally kept his comments vague, even referring to Griner as “the individual you mentioned” during his press conference.
However, Blinken did support any American being detained in another country.
