Family of American held in Afghanistan asks Trump for help

President Trump reiterated Wednesday that the U.S. must leave Afghanistan. But negotiations for a deal with the Taliban have stalled, in part because of disagreements over prisoner release, and violence continues. Meanwhile, the fate of one American hostage hangs in the balance. Family members of captured contractor Mark Frerichs join Amna Nawaz for their first interview, a NewsHour exclusive.
