US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Tuesday he welcomed the successful rescue of all "hostages" held by Venezuela's government at Argentina's embassy in Caracas.
"Following a precise operation, all hostages are now safely on US soil," Rubio said on X.
The five people, close allies of opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, have been living in the embassy since March 2024, after Venezuela's attorney general accused them of conspiracy and warrants were issued for their arrests.
