Trump Pledges to Secure Release of All Political Prisoners in Venezuela

May 12, 2026

Former President Donald Trump announced on May 12, 2026, that he will work to secure the release of all political prisoners currently held in Venezuela. The pledge comes during a period of ongoing protests within Venezuela advocating for an amnesty law that would free political detainees. Trump's statement represents a commitment to intervene in Venezuelan detention policies, though the mechanism and timeline for such releases remain unspecified. The announcement aligns with broader international concerns about political imprisonment in Venezuela and adds a diplomatic dimension to the former president's public activities.
