How many Americans were imprisoned in Venezuela
Discussed on the return of jailed American citizens was one of the major issues.
It is not known how many Americans are currently in Venezuela jails, although the officials there have talked about at least nine. These are by “terrorists” or “freight” Karakas with normal labels.
Venezuela government regularly opposes working with CIA attacks and working to plan follicles, some US refused.
“I will do everyone on this call, urge the Maduro government – Maduro rule – in Venezuela, special messenger for Rick Grenal and their demands and what he puts on the table, because finally, there will be results of other whis “The American Special Envoy for Latin America, Mauricio Claver-Caron said.
In 2023, Karakas released 10 American prisoners in exchange for Washington, with a Maduro’s associate in jail in the US.
Trump hopes that Maduro will withdraw ‘criminals and gang members’
Next to the journey, the Trump administration warned of the results whether the Maduro government did not accept the return of the exiled Venezuela.
Claver-Caron said, “President Trump hopes that Nicholas Maduro will withdraw all criminals and gang members of Venezuela who have been exported to the United States, and this is done with disqualification and condition.”
Trump has preferred the exile of the immigrants for its second term in the office, including police, immigration agencies, border patrol officers as well as the US Army in the exile campaign.
The President has claimed that the Latin American immigrants “poisoning the US blood” and accused Maduro that we along with criminals to get floods in the US with criminals to evacuate Venezuela jails. The US has disputed last year’s vote which allowed Maduro to occupy power.

Hundreds of Venezuela in America at risk of exile
In the last decade, millions of Venezuela people have fled from their homeland, including around 600,000 who are living in the US and were exile under the former President Joe Biden.
Trump and Homeland Secretary Christie Nom said they would remove the biden’s temporary protected position (TPS) for the people of Venezuela, exposing them to exile at home and possible political oppression.

Chevron CEO Mike Varth told on Friday financial Times The newspaper company Wood spoke with the White House about the renewal of the permit.
Trump has threatened to prevent Venezuela oil from purchasing if Karakas show the inherent.
Maurisio Claver-Caron told reporters on Friday, “This is not a Kwid Pro Quo, not a conversation in exchange for anything. President Trump Himil made it very clear that we need Venezuela oil.”
Not a lot of screws were left to turn Trump
The relationship between the US and Venezuela has been a bee sour for decades, with broken diplomatic relations, restrictions, and very public recurrence.
However, Trump called a campaign of “maximum pressure” during his first term in the office and recently branded Maduro as “dictator,” his successor (and then anterior) who branded as a biden gymnastics gym.
