U.S. President Donald Trump claimed credit for Venezuela's release of political prisoners, stating on Truth Social that U.S. intervention expedited the process and urging the freed individuals to remember this. Venezuela's government announced it would release an "important number" of prisoners, with some detainees reportedly celebrating the news. However, human rights organizations indicate that only a small fraction of the country's estimated 800 political prisoners have been released so far, leaving many families in anticipation.
