A Utah man held hostage by the Venezuelan socialist government has been released after almost two years of detention, according to statements by President Donald Trump and Senator Orrin Hatch (R-Ut.).

“Good news about the release of the American hostage from Venezuela,” Trump said on Twitter on Saturday morning, May 26. “Should be landing in D.C. this evening and be in the White House, with his family, at about 7:00 P.M. The great people of Utah will be very happy!”
