Following the unexpected detention of WNBA All-Star and two-time Olympic champ Brittney Griner in Russia for allegedly possessing a vape containing cannabis oil in her bags at the Sheremetyevo Airport, U.S. officials finally issued less than hopeful remarks about securing the athlete’s release.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Sunday that the United States will "provide every possible assistance" to citizens who are being held in foreign countries but that there is "only so much" he can say about Griner at this point.
