The son of a jailed Venezuelan opposition leader has warned Donald Trump to "not be fooled" by the country's government, amid accusations it has not kept its promise to release a significant number of political prisoners.
Ramón Guanipa, the son of Juan Pablo Guanipa, said he believed the US president was unaware that only about 40 of the total of more than 800 political prisoners had reportedly been released so far.
On Saturday, Trump thanked the Venezuelan authorities, saying they had "started the process, in a BIG WAY".
The Venezuelan government announced on Thursday it would release detainees considered political prisoners by human rights groups as a "goodwill gesture".
The move came after the US seized Venezuela's President Nicolás Maduro in a raid on the capital, Caracas, on 3 January, and took him to New York, where he has been charged with drug trafficking.
