SECOND EXCHANGE SINCE TRUMP RETURNED TO THE WHITE HOUSE

Russia and the United States exchanged prisoners yesterday, the second such swap since US President Donald Trump returned to the White House as the two superpowers push for closer ties.

Moscow released US-Russian ballet dancer and spa worker Ksenia Karelina, who had been sentenced in Russia to 12 years on treason charges, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said.

Karelina, who was born in 1991 and lived in Los Angeles, was serving a sentence for having donated around $50 to a pro-Ukraine charity.
