🚨BREAKING: Venezuela Seizes Two American Hostages as Biden's Term Winds Down
As President Joe Biden's term nears its end, Venezuela's socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro has escalated tensions by arresting two American citizens, branding them as "important mercenaries."
Maduro claims the detainees were part of a group of seven, including individuals from Colombia and Ukraine, planning to destabilize his regime ahead of his controversial third-term inauguration.
The arrests come at a time when the U.S. and Venezuela have previously engaged in prisoner exchanges, highlighting the fragile diplomatic relations. Maduro has accused the Americans of intending to carry out "terrorist actions," though no concrete evidence has been publicly presented.
This incident adds to the complexity of U.S.-Venezuela relations, raising concerns about the safety of Americans abroad during a politically vulnerable period for the U.S. administration.

The fires are still raging in L.A. The incompetent pols have no idea how to put them out. Thousands of magnificent houses are gone, and many more will soon be lost. There is death all over the place. This is one of the worst catastrophes in the history of our Country. They just can’t put out the fires. What’s wrong with them?

For far too long, we have relied on taxing our Great People using the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Through soft and pathetically weak Trade agreements, the American Economy has delivered growth and prosperity to the World, while taxing ourselves. It is time for that to change. I am today announcing that I will create the EXTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE to collect our Tariffs, Duties, and all Revenue that come from Foreign sources. We will begin charging those that make money off of us with Trade, and they will start paying, FINALLY, their fair share. January 20, 2025, will be the birth date of the External Revenue Service. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

WE HAVE A DEAL FOR THE HOSTAGES IN THE MIDDLE EAST. THEY WILL BE RELEASED SHORTLY. THANK YOU!
@TrumpDailyPosts
@TrumpDailyPosts
This EPIC ceasefire agreement could have only happened as a result of our Historic Victory in November, as it signaled to the entire World that my Administration would seek Peace and negotiate deals to ensure the safety of all Americans, and our Allies. I am thrilled American and Israeli hostages will be returning home to be reunited with their families and loved ones.
With this deal in place, my National Security team, through the efforts of Special Envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, will continue to work closely with Israel and our Allies to make sure Gaza NEVER again becomes a terrorist safe haven. We will continue promoting PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH throughout the region, as we build upon the momentum of this ceasefire to further expand the Historic Abraham Accords. This is only the beginning of great things to come for America, and indeed, the World!
We have achieved so much without even being in the White House. Just imagine all of the wonderful things that will happen when I return to the White House, and my Administration is fully confirmed, so they can secure more Victories for the United States!

Windmills are an economic and environmental disaster. I don’t want even one built during my Administration. The thousands of dead and broken ones should be ripped down ASAP. Most expensive energy, only work with massive government subsidies, which we will no longer pay!

JUST IN: Arab officials have credited Donald Trump's envoy with Ceasefire Hostage Releases
Arab officials involved credit Trump and Trump representative Steve Witkoff, for securing a ceasefire and hostage release deal in Gaza, not Joe Biden.
The breakthrough came after Witkoff's intense meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, where he managed to persuade the PM in ways that Biden's administration could not.
According to reports from The Times of Israel, this meeting was pivotal, with Witkoff's aggressive negotiation tactics proving more effective than months of discussions under the Biden administration.
This development has sparked discussions on the influence of incoming U.S. administrations in Middle Eastern politics, highlighting how a single meeting can shift longstanding negotiations.
