Joseph St Clair, a US Air Force veteran detained in Venezuela for nearly six months, was released after negotiations led by special envoy Richard Grenell. Grenell met with Venezuelan officials in Antigua and credited St Clair's return to President Trump's America First strategy. The negotiations coincided with a deal to extend Chevron's operating license in Venezuela. St Clair's family expressed immense joy over his release, as this marked an important diplomatic success amidst ongoing tensions with the Venezuelan government.
The family of US Air Force veteran Joseph St Clair confirmed his release on Tuesday, following his detention in November of last year. We are overwhelmed with joy.
Grenell credited St Clair's freedom to Trump's America First political platform. Joe St. Clair is back in America, he wrote. I met Venezuelan officials in a neutral country today.
