In 2026, the United States and Venezuela agreed to reestablish diplomatic relations, marking a significant shift after a period of strained ties. The agreement follows the ouster of former President Nicolás Maduro in January by a U.S. military operation. Since Maduro's removal, the Trump administration has increased pressure on his loyalists still in power. The goal is to encourage them to align with the U.S. vision for the oil-rich nation. The State Department announced the agreement on Thursday, signaling a potential turning point in the historically adversarial relationship between the two countries.
