Ric Grenell, the Presidential Envoy for Special Missions, shared positive news last Friday regarding his special assignment in Venezuela. He discussed the return of Venezuelan citizens who had entered the United States illegally, including members of the Tren de Aragua gang.
He carried a message that Venezuela needs to comply; otherwise, there will be “consequences.”Â
He then returned to the U.S. with six American hostages, who had been detained in Venezuela. That’s what strength gets you.Â
Were you aware that there were Americans detained in Venezuela? What about Belarus, where Secretary of State Marco Rubio successfully secured the release of an American? Strangely, neither the Biden administration nor the media had highlighted these situations until the Trump team intervened and began facilitating these individuals’ repatriation.
