El Salvador and US negotiate prisoner swap with Venezuela

El Salvador and the United States have negotiated a prisoner swap with Venezuela, involving the exchange of 250 Venezuelans deported from the US to El Salvador for 10 Americans held by the Venezuelan government. The exchange was facilitated through diplomatic efforts between the three countries, as Venezuela sought the return of its citizens who had been deported from the US. In return, Venezuela released the 10 American prisoners, some of whom were oil executives and others who were being held on various charges. The prisoner swap is seen as a significant diplomatic achievement, as it has the potential to improve relations between the US and Venezuela, which have been strained in recent years. The move is also viewed as a positive step towards addressing the complex issue of migration and deportation between the three countries.
