Trump renews call for Syria's help to free journalist Austin Tice 8 years since capture

WASHINGTON _ President Donald Trump on Friday renewed his call for the Syrian government to help find and return Austin Tice, an American journalist who went missing covering the war there in 2012.

Marking the eighth anniversary of his disappearance, Trump said that the administration "will not rest" until Tice is brought home.

"Earlier this year, I asked the government of Syria to work with us to find and return Austin. I am again calling on Syria to help us bring him home," Trump said. "There is no higher priority in my administration than the recovery and return of Americans missing abroad. The Tice family deserves answers. We stand with the Tice family and will not rest until we bring Austin home."
