President Trump’s Envoy Just Flew Home With 6 Americans Held Hostage in South America Under Biden’s Watch

The good news just keeps coming with this administration!

As a bit of a world traveler, I never required the assistance of U.S. diplomatic or embassy help.

Well — except that one time we were raided by gypsies in Tirana, Albania and I lost a really cool hat as well as my (apparently very valuable) American passport.

But that’s a different story.

The point is… I always knew help was there if I legitimately found myself needing it in a foreign nation, if I could just make contact with the embassy.

That’s how it always was.  We’re Americans, and we take care of our own.  No matter where in the world.

It hasn’t been quite like that for some time, but this story might be part of the comeback tour!

Yesterday morning, the White House Press Secretary hinted that something might be up in Venezuela — but she didn’t spill the beans fully:

If you’ll recall, we alerted you to the fact that Americans were being held in Venezuela back in September when news started breaking that a U.S. sailor had been captured, highlighting an apparent hostage situation on the part of Venezuelan President Maduro:

BREAKING: U.S. Sailor Being Held By Venezuelan Intelligence Agency

Well... a few things have happened since then.  And one really big thing.

President Trump stepped back into the White House.

Fast-forward to today... and that's when President Trump's envoy (miracle worker extraordinaire) did what he does best.

Check this out -- that's him, on his way back from Venezuela with... 1?  2?

Nope -- he brought 6 of the American hostages back home who had been held for many long months by the tyrant Nicolas Maduro.

President Trump quickly posted to his Truth Social account the news.

Ric Grenell may go down in history as one of the most prolific freer of foreign-held hostages... ever.

And how many meetings did it take Richard Grenell to walk away with a squad of six Americans in tow?

How many expensive flights?

How many weeks of media attention afforded to the tyrant Nicolas Maduro?

One meeting, one two-way flight, and no media attention except what you're seeing here.

And how long did it take, in total:

The six grateful Americans all spoke to President Trump on the plane ride home, according to the post shared by Grenell.

It has been reported that there are potentially 3 more Americans remaining to be freed, accused of terrorism and being mercenaries, according to a report in Fox News:

Following a meeting with Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in Caracas to discuss, in part, the release of Americans being held in the country, Richard Grenell, President Donald Trump’s envoy for special missions announced on X Friday night that he was returning to the U.S. with six of them.

"They just spoke to @realDonaldTrump and they couldn’t stop thanking him," Grenell said in his post without identifying the six men, four of whom were dressed in light-blue Venezuelan prison outfits.

It’s been reported that at least nine Americans have been held by Venezuela where Maduro’s officials have accused most of them of being involved in terrorism or acting as "mercenaries."

On a call earlier on Friday with reporters, Mauricio Claver-Carone, the U.S. special envoy on Latin America, said that "American hostages need to be released immediately, unequivocally."

But he added that "this is not a quid pro quo. It’s not a negotiation in exchange for anything. Trump himself has made that very clear."

Grenell apparently said the most badass, Jack Bauer, Navy SEAL (the Charlie Sheen version...) thing he could have possibly said upon greeting the 6 Americans:

"Hello. I'm an American diplomat sent by President Trump and I'm here to bring you home."

There are reports that the discussions between Grenell and Maduro included a warning about consequences if the Americans' detainment continued.

He also allegedly demanded that Maduro accept flights from American bringing its' "criminals and gangs" back, as part of the new U.S. immigration policy, according to a story in The Hill:

Grenell met with Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro to send a warning about the consequences that would come from the continued detainment of the Americans.

Mauricio Claver-Carone, Trump’s special envoy for Latin America, told reporters in an earlier call on Friday that Grenell was visiting Latin America on a “very specific mission” that did not affect the U.S.’s posture towards Maduro’s leadership. The U.S. government maintains Maduro’s election victory was “illegitimate” and a “desperate attempt to seize power.”

Reports suggest the deal involved Venezuela agreeing to accept Venezuelan migrants from the U.S. and the release of the Americans in exchange for the U.S. giving Venezuela certain concessions. However, the details of the agreement were not immediately clear.

Claver Carone said Grenell’s demands to Maduro involved Venezuela accepting back its “criminals and gangs” in addition to the release of American hostages, according to The Washington Post.

In summary, what lesson can we take away from today's events?

In dealing with foreign tyrants, rescuing Americans, and handling the business of the United States... there are two giant, important, critical takeaways to remember:

1.) Get rid of Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and the democrats.

2.) Replace with President Trump, America First patriots, and people who remember that it's supposed to mean something special to be an American -- and that's okay.

Welcome home guys.
