American flag raised at U.S. Embassy in Venezuela for the first time since 2019

The United States raised the American flag at its embassy in Venezuela for the first time since 2019, marking the facility's reopening. The embassy restoration follows President Trump's recent public statements supporting acting President Delcy Rodríguez, who succeeded Nicolás Maduro. The flag-raising ceremony signals a potential shift in U.S.-Venezuela diplomatic relations after years of embassy closure. The reopening establishes formal diplomatic presence in Caracas under the Trump administration's apparent recognition of the new Venezuelan leadership.
