US reopens embassy in Venezuela months after military operation to remove Maduro - AP News

The United States has reopened its embassy in Venezuela, a major diplomatic shift following a military operation that resulted in the removal of President Nicolás Maduro from power. The embassy closure had been a symbol of the severe breakdown in relations between Washington and Caracas under Maduro's authoritarian rule. The reopening signals a normalization of diplomatic ties and suggests the Trump administration is engaging with Venezuela's new leadership structure. This move reflects a broader recalibration of U.S. policy toward the country after years of sanctions, opposition to Maduro, and support for Venezuelan opposition figures. The embassy resumption could facilitate diplomatic dialogue and indicate potential shifts in U.S. economic or political relations with post-Maduro Venezuela.
