Pompeo says US to use 'every tool' to free Americans in Venezuela

The United States will use all options to free two Americans said to be detained in a failed mercenary attack in Venezuela, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Wednesday. "If the Maduro regime decides to hold them, we will use every tool that we have available to try to get them back," Pompeo told reporters. Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, whom the United States has been seeking to topple for more than a year, on Monday displayed the passports of two Americans he said were arrested in a plot to bring him down.
