“Now let’s talk about our inability to get someone back. We’ve never had that problem with citizens, at least those who didn’t break laws in the foreign country.” Inadvertently or not, you hit the nail on the head. We may very well be able to get a citizen back when we want to get them back. Trump has openly discussed sending “homegrowns” (US citizens) to El Salvador. I don’t think he has any intention of folks he sends to a foreign prison coming back. If you trust Trump (and any future administration) with this power, that’s your call.
