Venezuela Imprisons 6 US Oil Executives

VOA News

   Venezuelan police rounded up six U.S. oil executives who have been
   under house arrest, hours after President Donald Trump met with
   opposition leader Juan Guaido in Washington.

   Family members of the six executives of Citgo saidthey were seized from
   their homes Wednesday night and that they didn't know where the men
   were being held.

   Elliot Abrams, U.S. special representative for Venezuela, saidU.S.
   officials thought the men were being held in El Helicoide prison and
   were taken there by Venezuelan intelligence agents. He said the timing
   of their detention, just after Trump held talks with Guaido, was
   suspicious.
