Kremlin says detained American released ahead of talks in Saudi

The Kremlin said Monday a U.S. citizen briefly detained at a Moscow airport for allegedly travelling into Russia with cannabis gummy candy had been released ahead of Tuesday's talks in Saudi Arabia aimed at improving ties.

Asked about reports on a U.S. citizen -- identified as Kalob Wayne Byers -- was released after being arrested Friday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said: "As on Tuesday the restoration of relations will be discussed, these events can be seen in that context."
