Trevor Reed’s case has taken on new urgency, given increasing Russian instability after that country’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine TexasTribune
Biden is visiting the Fort Worth Veterans Affairs Clinic for an event to call attention to veterans’ concerns about cancer exposure. Cornyn said the Reed family requested a meeting with Biden. Joey and Paula Reed — Trevor Reed’s parents — live in Granbury, which is about a 45-minute drive from the Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth, where Air Force One will land.
"Trevor Reed has been held in a Russian prison with little to no access to badly-needed health care or communication with his family, and his situation is only going to get worse given the political climate in Russia," Cornyn said in a statement. "This Administration must do more to free Americans held hostage in Russia," he added. "President Biden meeting with the Reed family while in Texas on a day he is touting the importance of caring for our veterans would be a welcome start.
