Press Releases

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Rep. French Hill (AR-02) today issued the following statement after President Trump delivered his first joint address to Congress after being sworn in as our 47th President of the United States.

"Tonight, President Trump laid out how he is delivering on his promises to the American people. From prioritizing border security and economic prosperity to increasing government efficiency and restoring America's strong stance on the world stage, President Trump is making America strong, secure, and competitive again.

"I was honored to welcome Tigran Gambaryan as my guest to this historic joint address. An American citizen who was wrongly detained in Nigeria for nine months, Tigran’s story is one of resilience, and I was proud to play a role in securing his release. As Co-Chair of the Hostage Task Force in the House, I look forward to working with President Trump and his administration as we continue our work to return Americans like Tigran who are wrongly detained or held hostage abroad back home and discourage state or non-state actors from targeting Americans in the first place.

"President Trump’s leadership is ushering in a new era of American prosperity, and I look forward to continuing my work with him to deliver on our promises to central Arkansans and all Americans."
