President Trump weighed in on the kidnapping of an American tourist in Uganda.

President Trump is urging Uganda to find an American tourist's kidnappers "quickly" so people will "feel safe" going there.  "Uganda must find the kidnappers of the American Tourist and guide before people will feel safe in going there. Bring them to justice openly and quickly!" the president wrote in a Monday tweet. Trump's message comes after the abduction and release of Kimberly Sue Endicott, who was taken at gunpoint last week while on a wildlife excursion.  She and the tour guide who was kidnapped at the same time were held until a ransom was paid, according to CBS News.   The New York Times reports that according to an unnamed official, "they were dropped off at a point near the border of Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo on Sunday."
