In a new episode of “The Daily” podcast, Michael Crowley, a diplomatic correspondent for The New York Times, discusses the case of Brittney Griner, the American W.N.B.A. star who has been detained in Russia since February.
“I’m terrified I might be here forever,” she wrote in a recent letter to President Biden.
The White House vowed to use “every tool” to bring Ms. Griner back to the United States, but organizing her release is a tricky proposition, complicated not least by Washington’s break with Moscow over the war in Ukraine.
