Inside Biden’s meeting with Austin Tice’s parents
According to this article on AXIOS, by Zachary Basu
“President Biden committed in an Oval Office meeting on Monday to engage directly with the Assad regime to find a solution that will bring Austin Tice home, the parents of the American journalist abducted in Syria in 2012 tell Axios.
Why it matters: The Tices believe that the president’s personal involvement will signal to Syria that the U.S. government views their son’s freedom as a priority and will negotiate in good faith after years of sanctions and isolation.
Driving the news: The meeting with Biden came together after Steven Portnoy, a CBS reporter and the current president of the White House Correspondents’ Association, used his speech at Saturday’s annual dinner to call attention to Tice’s case.”
