Venezuela released two Americans who had been detained. The olive branch comes as the U.S. considers lifting sanctions on the country’s oil industry.
Venezuela released two Americans who had been detained, the White House said, a move that comes just days after President Nicolás Maduro met with senior U.S. officials who are considering lifting oil sanctions on Caracas as energy prices surge because of Russia’s war in Ukraine.
Gustavo Cárdenas, a former executive at Citgo, the U.S. refining subsidiary of state-run oil company Petróleos de Venezuela SA, was arrested in 2017. Jorge Fernandez was arrested last year on spurious charges, the White House said, without providing further details about Mr. Fernandez.
