But all Wright's family wants is for the 38-year-old businessman to be returned home. That position was reaffirmed Friday by the U.S. State Department in response to questions about Wright’s arrest. Some former Trump administration officials say Wright’s arrest is just the latest example of Maduro acting in bad faith. “He loved the nomadic lifestyle,” said Stewart, who didn't know her son was in Venezuela until she learned of his arrest. Wright’s family is speaking out because they feel the U.S. government hasn’t done enough to free him.

CNN —US Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs Roger Carstens quietly traveled to Venezuela this week, a State Department spokesperson confirmed to CNN Wednesday. Carstens traveled to the capital city of Caracas for “discussions about the welfare and safety of US nationals wrongfully detained in Venezuela,” the spokesperson said. “We continue to advocate for the immediate and unconditional release of all wrongfully detained US nationals in Venezuela at every opportunity,” they said. ‘Signing his death warrant’The family members of the detained Americans, all of whom have been detained more than a year, are increasingly worried about their loved ones. Tillery told CNN that the US is “signing his death warrant” by not securing Kenemore’s release.

“The intentions, of course, were never to cross over to Venezuela, he was just accompanying her,” said Henry Martínez, Hernández’s brother. The men told Hernández that if they wanted to enter Venezuela, he had to pay $100. Hernández told them he was not trying to enter the country and did not have $100. The U.S. has not had a diplomatic presence in Caracas since 2019, so access to jailed Americans has been limited since then. “Sometimes I can hear his voice weak and just frustrated and anxious,” said Henry Martínez.

Preşedintele Nicolas Maduro a anunţat marţi că Venezuela va crea "un comando de operaţiuni speciale" însărcinat cu contracararea eventualelor acţiuni subversive ale SUA pe teritoriul său, relatează AFP.Maduro a dezvăluit crearea acestui comando, a cărui activitate va fi coordonată de preşedinţie, într-o videoconferinţă difuzată de televiziunea guvernamentală venezueleană.Noua unitate va avea "capacitatea de a acţiona în oricare loc al ţării, în timp real, 24 de ore din 24", a declarat preşedintele socialist.Potrivit lui Maduro, preşedintele SUA, Donald Trump, a dat undă verde ca "CIA să se implice în acţiuni clandestine cu caracter terorist împotriva Venezuelei".Astfel de acţiuni americane ar viza "obiective petroliere, electrice, militare, electorale" pe teritoriul venezuelean, a spus Maduro. "Am capturat deja un agent care a recunoscut acest lucru", a spus el.La 11 septembrie, Maduro a anunţat arestarea în Venezuela a unui cetăţean american identificat ca Matthew John Heath şi pe care l-a calificat drept "spion". Americanul este acuzat de "terorism" de justiţia venezueleană, conform căreia el pregătea atacuri asupra unor instalaţii petroliere şi electrice.În august, alţi doi americani, Luke Alexander Denman şi Airan Berry, au fost condamnaţi în Venezuela la 20 de ani de închisoare pentru terorism. SUA susţin deschis căderea lui Nicolas Maduro, pe care îl califică drept dictator, şi impun o serie de sancţiuni Venezuelei.Secretariatul Trezoreriei SUA a anunţat marţi adoptarea de sancţiuni, în special îngheţarea unor active, împotriva a cinci oficiali politici venezueleni. Washingtonul îi acuză de "complicitate" cu preşedintele Maduro la o "manipulare" a procesului care conduce la viitoarele alegeri legislative, ce ar urma să aibă loc la 6 decembrie.Maduro a condamnat imediat sancţiunile, spunând în alocuţiunea sa că sunt "măsuri de extorsiune, de şantaj, de persecuţie tipice unei mafii, şi nu unui guvern al unei ţări decente", scrie agerpres.ro.
