Diplomatic tensions continue to remain high between the United States and Turkey.
According to Reuters, the U.S. embassy in Ankara, Turkey has not put out a statement concerning pastor Andrew Brunson.
Brunson, and evangelical Christian, was arrested in 2016 and is now being tried by a Turkish court for espionage and terror related charges in the aftermath of the Turkish coup d’état attempt.
A report on social media has cited the embassy as saying he would be released from house arrest by Aug 15.
