Venezuela Takes Step Towards Stability as Trump Announces Release of Political Prisoners
In a significant development, US President Donald Trump announced on Saturday that Venezuela had begun the process of releasing its political prisoners, marking a major step towards stability in the South American nation. The move comes after an earlier release of citizens and foreign nationals from prison this week.
According to Trump's post on Truth Social, "Venezuela has started the process, in a BIG WAY, of releasing their political prisoners. Thank you!" He also expressed hope that those released will never forget what they owe to the US for intervening in Venezuela's crisis. The announcement follows an earlier gesture by Venezuela's interim president Delcy Rodriguez, who announced the release of "an important number" of prisoners.
The US has been pushing for Venezuela's release of political prisoners as a key step towards achieving stability and cooperation between the two countries. With the country currently under Interim President Rodriguez's rule, the release of prisoners is seen as an opportunity to rebuild trust and move forward.
However, the US has also warned American citizens and lawful permanent residents in Venezuela to leave immediately due to the increasingly dire security environment and threats to their safety.
The development comes after a recent shift in relations between the US and Venezuela, with Trump announcing that he was canceling a planned second wave of strikes on the country. Instead, he expressed optimism about cooperation on rebuilding Venezuela's oil and gas infrastructure.
As tensions in Venezuela continue to simmer, the release of political prisoners marks an important step towards stability and reconciliation. The US will likely maintain its Level 4 advisory for Venezuela until security conditions improve, but the gesture by Trump is seen as a positive development for the country's future.

. Been following Venezuela's situation for ages and it feels like they're getting back on track 
. Still worried about the long-term effects of economic collapse and the impact on regular people, but at least something's being done about those political prisoners 
.
Still, at least Trump is talking about cooperation now, rather than just being all tough and aggressive. Maybe, just maybe, we'll start to see some progress here.
. The US stepping in and pushing for this is huge, though - it's like they're saying "Hey, we care about what happens in Venezuela too!" 
. It's all about stability and safety at the end of the day 
. And let's be real, if there's one thing that'll get people's attention, it's releasing some political prisoners 
. Here's hoping this is just the start of something positive for Venezuela! 
it's like, what even is the point of having a democracy if u cant free people who r wrongly locked up?
...and i hope trump means business on this one...no more empty gestures, pls! 
it's like a breath of fresh air for that country... finally, some progress after all the chaos they've been through 
i mean, stability is everything when you're dealing with economic crisis and food shortages... i hope it doesn't just stop at releasing prisoners tho 
finally some good news about venezuela!! i've been following this situation for ages and it's soooo refreshing to see trump doing something actually helpful
