The United States has formally reopened its embassy in Caracas, Venezuela, after the restoration of full diplomatic relations with the South American country
The United States has formally reopened its embassy in Caracas, Venezuela, after the restoration of full diplomatic relations with the South American country following the Trump administration’s ouster of then-President Nicolas Maduro in early January.
The State Department announced Monday that it had resumed normal operations at the embassy in Caracas — which had been in need of significant repair, including remediations from mold — after a seven-year closure that began during President Donald Trump’s first term. A small team of U.S. diplomats, based in neighboring Colombia, has been working in Caracas for more than a month but the embassy itself had not yet been reopened. “The resumption of operations at U.S. Embassy Caracas is a key milestone in implementing the president’s three phase plan for Venezuela and will strengthen our ability to engage directly with Venezuela’s interim government, civil society, and the private sector,” the State Department said in a statement. It said the move marked “a new chapter in our diplomatic presence in Venezuela.” Lee writes for the Associated Press.
