President Donald Trump<\/a> said Saturday that Venezuela has begun releasing political prisoners<\/a> “in a BIG WAY,” crediting U.S. intervention for the move following last week\u2019s American military operation in the country.<\/p>\n

“Venezuela has started the process, in a BIG WAY, of releasing their political prisoners,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Thank you! I hope those prisoners will remember how lucky they got that the USA came along and did what had to be done.”<\/p>\n

He added a warning directed at those being released: “I HOPE THEY NEVER FORGET! If they do, it will not be good for them.”<\/p>\n

The president\u2019s comments come one week after the United States launched Operation Absolute Resolve, a strike on Venezuela and capture of dictator Nicol\u00e1s Maduro<\/a> as well as his wife Cilia Flores, transporting them to the United States to face federal drug trafficking charges.<\/p>\n

Following the military operation, Trump said the U.S. intends to temporarily oversee Venezuela\u2019s transition<\/a> <\/strong>of power, asserting American involvement “until such time as a safe, proper and judicious transition” can take place and warning that U.S. forces stand ready to escalate if necessary.<\/p>\n

At least 18 political prisoners were reported freed as of Saturday and there is no comprehensive public list of all expected releases, Reuters reported.<\/a><\/p>\n

Maduro and Flores were transported to New York after their capture to face charges in U.S. federal court. The Pentagon has said that Operation Absolute Resolve involved more than 150 aircraft and months of planning.<\/p>\n

Trump has said the U.S. intends to remain actively involved<\/a> in Venezuela\u2019s security, political transition and reconstruction of its oil infrastructure.<\/p>\n

The White House did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
