Trump Administration Frees Detained US Air Force Veteran from Venezuela
TheWkly Analysis
Caracas, Venezuela: In a deal brokered quietly behind the scenes, the Trump administration secured the release of a U.S. Air Force veteran detained for months in Venezuela. His father said the 36-year-old flew to Caracas seeking PTSD treatment but was arrested under suspicion of espionage. Administration officials praised “diplomatic diligence,” while critics question what concessions might have been offered. The Venezuelan government gave few details, though domestic factions remain opposed to perceived U.S. meddling.
