Venezuela frees 7 Americans in prisoner swap

• The exchange secures freedom for seven U.S. citizens whom Venezuela "wrongfully detained," Biden said in a statement on Saturday.

Details: The freed American prisoners include five employees of Citgo — Tomeu Vadell, Jose Luis Zambrano, Alirio Zambrano, Jorge Toledo and Jose Pereira.

• Both Matthew Heath, a former U.S. Marine corporal, and Osman Khan, who was arrested earlier this year, were freed, too, AP reports.
• "These individuals will soon be reunited with their families and back in the arms of their loved ones where they belong," Biden said in the statement.

The other side: Franqui Flores and his cousin Efrain Campo — nephews of Maduro's wife, Cilia Flores — were granted clemency by Biden before being released, according to the AP.

• The pair was arrested in Haiti back in 2015 and jailed in the U.S. on drug convictions.

The big picture: The Biden administration has faced tremendous pressure to bring home WNBA star Brittney Griner and American Paul Whelan from Russian detention.

• "To all the families who are still suffering and separated from their loved ones who are wrongfully detained — know that we remain dedicated to securing their release," Biden said.
