US EditionUS Takes First Steps to Possibly Reopen Embassy in Venezuela After Maduro’s Ouster
The U.S. will deploy temporary diplomatic staff performing limited functions while the embassy compound is upgraded, aiming to restore relations severed since March 2019.
- The Trump administration notified Congress it is taking initial steps to possibly reopen the shuttered U.S. Embassy in Caracas, and the U.S. Department of State said it plans a phased approach to resume operations.
- Following the U.S. military raid that removed then-President Nicolás Maduro, Delcy Rodríguez now serves as interim president after Maduro’s capture.
- The State Department said it is sending a regular contingent of temporary staffers to conduct select diplomatic functions from a temporary facility while the existing embassy compound in Caracas is upgraded.
- The move would reverse the March, 2019 closure of the U.S. Embassy in Caracas, allowing temporary staffers to perform limited diplomatic functions while upgrades proceed.
- The phased plan signals a cautious, stepwise restoration of presence as the U.S. Department of State sent identical letters to 10 House and Senate committees and detailed dispatching temporary staffers, The Associated Press reported.
