Venezuela Releases Six Detained Americans Following U.S. Negotiations

The release came after discussions between U.S. envoy Richard Grenell and Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, focusing on migration and bilateral relations.

Six U.S. citizens detained in Venezuela were released after negotiations led by Richard Grenell, a special envoy of President Donald Trump.
The release occurred during a meeting in Caracas, where Maduro expressed interest in improving relations with the United States.
Trump praised Grenell's efforts, describing the individuals as 'hostages' and sharing their gratitude for being brought home.
The discussions also addressed U.S. demands for the return of deported Venezuelan criminals and the impact of economic sanctions on Venezuela.
The talks follow heightened tensions, including U.S. non-recognition of Maduro's re-election and a $25 million bounty on him for alleged drug trafficking.
