Trump Says Journalist Austin Tice Has Not Been Seen in Many Years


Israel – Jerusalem Post, May 16, 2025

Trump made these statements days after Tice’s body was allegedly found in a cemetery in northern Syria, according to Sky News Arabia.
US President Donald Trump said on Friday that American journalist Austin Tice, captured in Syria more than 12 years ago, has not been seen in years.
Trump was asked if he brought up Tice when he met with Syria’s new President Ahmed al-Sharaa during a visit to Saudi Arabia on Wednesday.
“I always talk about Austin Tice. Now you know Austin Tice hasn’t been seen in many, many years,” Trump replied. “He’s got a great mother who’s just working so hard to find her boy. So I understand it, but Austin has not been seen in many, many years.”
