Six detained Americans in Venezuela released in exchange for Maduro ally
ai generated text
Six American citizens were detained in Venezuela and have since been released. The release was made possible after a meeting between President Nicolás Maduro and Richard Grenell, a senior Trump administration official.
Donald Trump is President of the United States, again. And diplomacy is back. I've spoken to multiple officials in Venezuela today and will begin meetings early tomorrow morning. Talking is a tactic.
I hope that during today's visit, the only thing Richard Grenell focuses on is demanding the return of the kidnapped Americans, ensuring that Maduro takes back the thugs and gang members in our country, and finding a new country for Maduro, [interior minister] Diosdado [Cabello], and anyone else involved in this thuggish regime to relocate to ASAP.
We are wheels up and headed home with these six American citizens. They just spoke to President Trump, and they couldn't stop thanking him.
I've just been informed that we are bringing six hostages home from Venezuela.
No. We want to do something with Venezuela. I've been a very big opponent of Venezuela and Maduro.
They've treated us not so good, but they've treated, more importantly, the Venezuelan people, very badly.
Thank you to Ric Grenell and my entire staff. Great job!
I'm a man of dialogue. I know how to listen and I know how to learn.
President Donald Trump, we have made a first step, hopefully it can continue.
In his first government … Trump wasn't good to us [but] this is a new start.
