WASHINGTON _ The Syrian government has chosen not to share any information it has about Austin Tice, an American journalist captured there in 2012, despite repeated overtures by the Trump administration, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Wednesday.
Pompeo at a press briefing confirmed that the administration remained in touch with Syrian officials regarding Tice's case.
"Our ask is that the Syrians release Mr. Tice, tell us what they know. They have chosen not to do that so far," Pompeo said. "We're going to continue to work for the return not only of Austin but of every American that's held."
