Trump says he hopes released Venezuelan prisoners ‘remember how lucky they got’

President Trump credited U.S. intervention for Venezuela's limited political prisoner releases, with only 22 freed so far out of over 800 detained, rights groups said.

  • US President Donald Trump announced that Venezuela has started releasing political prisoners, claiming it is in response to US actions against the Venezuelan leadership.
  • Only 16 political prisoners have been released so far, while 804 remain imprisoned, according to Foro Penal, a Venezuelan advocacy group.
  • Trump urged released prisoners to remember how 'lucky they got' due to US intervention and warned that forgetting it 'will not be good for them.'
  • Venezuela's government described the releases as a gesture to 'seek peace,' although details and numbers of those released are unclear.
