Venezuela freed multiple Americans detained in the country, the State Department announced, the latest concession after the operation to capture former Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro.
The new government of acting President Delcy Rodriguez has continued to play ball with the Trump administration, releasing more prisoners on Monday and Tuesday as part of a wider loosening of political restrictions. Four Americans were released jointly on Tuesday and one on Monday, sources familiar with the matter told the Associated Press, meaning Caracas no longer holds any Americans in its custody.
