Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the US is working to bring home the American found in Syria Thursday.

“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 and to bring him home,” Blinken said at a news conference in Jordan.

The top US diplomat did not provide any further details about the man, believed to be Travis Timmerman, citing privacy considerations.
