GIVE TRUMP ‘SUPERNATUR­AL WISDOM’: PASTOR

-

Freed American pastor Andrew Brunson fell to one knee in the Oval Office and placed his hand on U.S. President Donald Trump’s shoulder in prayer before asking God to provide him “supernatur­al wisdom to accomplish all the plans you have for this country and for him.”

Trump welcomed Brunson to the White House on Saturday to celebrate Brunson’s release from nearly two years of confinemen­t in Turkey, which had sparked a diplomatic row with a key ally.

Brunson returned to the U.S. aboard a military jet shortly before meeting the president. He was detained in October 2016, formally arrested that December and placed under house arrest on July 25 for health reasons.

Brunson’s homecoming amounts to a diplomatic win for Trump and his evangelica­l base.
