Venezuela slams El Salvador over migrant ‘hostages’

THE Venezuelan government has slammed El Salvador’s far-right President Nayib Bukele for admitting that he was holding 252 Venezuelan migrants as “hostages” in detention centres and demanded their immediate release.
Mr Bukele said on Sunday that he was proposing a prisoner swap with Venezuela.
He said El Salvador would exchange Venezuelan deportees from the United States who have been imprisoned by his government for what he described as “political prisoners” in Venezuela.
