President Biden has issued an executive order to try to improve efforts to free American hostages and detainees, senior administration officials told reporters.
President Joe Biden speaks at the White House last week. Biden signed an executive order Tuesday aimed at increasing the flow of information to families of Americans detained abroad, and at imposing sanctions on the criminals, terrorists or government officials who hold them captive.
The order authorizes departments and agencies to use financial sanctions and visa bans on both state and non-state actors as a tool to try to secure the release of detained Americans. That warning indicator will be applied to the travel advisory for China – a country currently designated as"Level 3 – reconsider travel."
