Nicolás Maduro’s regime on Friday released six American citizens imprisoned in Venezuela after the strongman met in Caracas with President Donald Trump’s special envoy, Richard Grenell.

Six Americans who had been detained in Venezuela in recent months were freed by the government of President Nicolás Maduro after he met Friday with a Trump administration official.

“He is there on a special mission,” said Mauricio Claver-Carone, the US state department special envoy for Latin America. “President Trump expects Nicolás Maduro to take back all of the Venezuelan criminals and gang members that have been exported to US, and to do so unequivocally and without condition.”
