US envoy arrives in Venezuela to reopen mission after seven years
AI Summary
In February 2026, US envoy Laura Dogu arrived in Caracas to reopen the US diplomatic mission in Venezuela, seven years after relations were severed. This follows the abduction of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro by US forces in January 2026, an action widely criticized as a violation of international law. Dogu, appointed charge d’affaires to the Venezuela Affairs Unit, will engage in talks with Venezuelan officials to create a roadmap for bilateral interests and address existing differences. Venezuela broke off diplomatic relations with the US in 2019 after then-President Trump supported Juan Guaido as interim president. A Maduro loyalist stated that reopening the embassy would allow the Venezuelan government to oversee the treatment of the deposed president.
