US EditionReopening Path: US Embassy's Return to Venezuela
- On Monday, January 26, the U.S. Department of State notified U.S. Congress it will send temporary staff to Caracas, Venezuela, to perform select diplomatic functions as a first step toward reopening the U.S. Embassy in Caracas.
- Shortly after the January 1 operation, a small team from the Venezuela Affairs Unit at the U.S. Embassy in Bogota traveled to Caracas to appraise reopening prospects.
- The department told committees that phase one calls for the deployment of temporary duty personnel who will perform limited security, management, and other functions in Caracas' interim facility.
- The Venezuela Affairs Unit would move to Caracas, last week the department named a Bogota-based career U.S. diplomat as charge d'affaires, and may open an interim facility in Caracas while the existing embassy compound is restored.
- Activists highlighted opposition on January 8, 2026, when a large projection opposed oil-driven intervention, while reopening could restore consular services and political and economic diplomacy after the U.S.-Venezuela diplomatic rupture.
