<p style="font-weight: 400;">On Tuesday night, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the United States had rescued all the hostages kept by the socialist Venezuelan Maduro regime at the Argentinian Embassy in Caracas.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Those five hostages were members of the opposition to Nicholas Maduro’s brutal regime. “The government of Argentine President Javier Milei allowed the five people into the ambassador’s residence in March 2024, when authorities loyal to Venezuela’s ruling party issued warrants for their arrest, accusing them of promoting acts of violence to destabilize the country,” The Washington Post <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/05/06/venezuela-argentina-caracas-political-opposition-us-rubio/9ee7c378-2ada-11f0-a724-3bc879c9f843_story.html">reported</a>, adding, “Since late November, the group had denounced the constant presence of intelligence service agents and police outside the residence.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“The U.S. welcomes the successful rescue of all hostages held by the Maduro regime at the Argentinian Embassy in Caracas,” Rubio wrote on X. “Following a precise operation, all hostages are now safely on U.S. soil. Maduro&#8217;s illegitimate regime has undermined Venezuela&#8217;s institutions, violated human rights, and endangered our regional security. We extend our gratitude to all personnel involved in this operation and to our partners who assisted in securing the safe liberation of these Venezuelan heroes.”</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In January, Milei met with exiled Venezuelan opposition leader Edmundo González Urrutia in Casa Rosada, declaring him the Venezuelan “president elect.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“Venezuelans, we will also meet in the streets of our beloved country,” González Urrutia wrote on X.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">After the meeting, the Argentine government called González Urrutia “Venezuela’s president-elect,” adding he “is under political persecution by the regime of dictator Nicolás Maduro,” the Buenos Aires Herald <a href="https://buenosairesherald.com/world/international-relations/milei-calls-urrutia-venezuelas-president-elect-as-tension-with-caracas-skyrockets">reported</a>.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Maduro was declared the winner of the July 2024 presidential election in Venezuela by the National Electoral Council, while the opposition claimed that they were the winners. Milei wrote on X, “Venezuelans have chosen to end Nicolás Maduro&#8217;s communist dictatorship. The data indicates a crushing victory for the opposition, and the world awaits its recognition of defeat after years of socialism, misery, decadence, and death. Argentina will not acknowledge another fraud, and expects the Armed Forces to defend democracy and the popular will this time.”</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="es" dir="ltr">DICTADOR MADURO, AFUERA!!!</p>
<p>Los venezolanos eligieron terminar con la dictadura comunista de Nicolás Maduro. Los datos anuncian una victoria aplastante de la oposición y el mundo aguarda que reconozca la derrota luego de años de socialismo, miseria, decadencia y muerte.…</p>
<p>&mdash; Javier Milei (@JMilei) <a href="https://twitter.com/JMilei/status/1817760569404842400?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 29, 2024</a></p></blockquote>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">When González Urrutia met with Milei, he gave him a framed voting tally showing he had won.</p>
