Trump shared the video on Friday morning on his Truth Social account, writing, "Glad to have you back home." 

"Mr. Trump, I’m so, so grateful for you to bring me home and for [the] American government. And I never felt more blessed to be American and I’m so, so happy to get home. Thank you," Karelina said to a camera after landing late Thursday night at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland. 

Karelina shared a long embrace with her fiancé, boxer Chris Van Deerden, after stepping off the plane. She has been offered Post Isolation Support Activities, which is a reacclimation program for wrongful detainees, a U.S. official said.
