The agreement led to the release of US citizens from Venezuela and Venezuelan migrants from El Salvador, strengthening diplomatic relations.

The recent agreement between Venezuela and El Salvador is a major achievement for President Nicolás Maduro and helps Donald Trump meet his goal of bringing home detained US citizens. El Salvador has released all Venezuelan citizens, and the Venezuelan government has admitted that it paid a 'steep price' to free the Americans. The deal also includes the release of more than 250 Venezuelan migrants, following a $6 million payment from the Trump administration to house them.
