Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro thanked his United States counterpart, Donald Trump, and Special Presidential Envoy Richard Grenell for the return of Maikelys, a two-year-old girl who, according to relatives and local authorities, was separated from her mother before boarding a repatriation flight in April.

“I must thank Ambassador Rich Grenell, President Donald Trump’s special envoy, for his efforts, and (…) I must also thank President Donald Trump,” said Maduro, who received the girl along with her mother and grandmother, Yorely Bernal and Raida Inciarte, at the Miraflores presidential palace.

Maduro’s government announced on Wednesday the arrival of the two-year-old in Venezuela, who was received at the Simón Bolívar de Maiquetía International Airport by the First Lady, Cilia Flores, and the Minister of the Interior, Diosdado Cabello.

The little girl, who the Venezuelan government said was “kidnapped” by the United States, arrived on a flight from Texas operated by Omni Air International, which carried 226 migrants, the state-run Venezolana de Televisión (VTV) reported.

According to Cabello, Venezuelan authorities were unsure about the minor’s arrival, which is why her relatives were not at the airport.

Maikely’s mother, Yorely, was deported from the US to Venezuela weeks ago, and her father, Maiker Espinoza, was among the Venezuelans deported to El Salvador in March.

The White House on Wednesday announced that it has secured economic commitments worth at least $1.2 trillion from Qatar, including a historic deal for Boeing jetliners.

President Donald Trump was in Qatar on the second stop of his Middle East trip and the White House said he "signed an agreement with Qatar to generate an economic exchange worth at least $1.2 trillion." That figure includes "economic deals totaling more than $243.5 billion between the U.S. and Qatar."

The White House said that Boeing and GE Aerospace landed a deal with Qatar Airways worth $96 billion to acquire up to 210 Boeing 787 Dreamliners and 777X aircraft, which are powered by GE Aerospace engines.

That marks the largest-ever order for Boeing's widebody aircraft, as well as the largest-ever 787 order. The White House said the deal "will support 154,000 U.S. jobs annually," which would total more than 1 million jobs over the production and delivery cycle for the deal.
