In March 2026, the United States reopened its embassy in Caracas, Venezuela, seven years after it was closed. Charge d’Affaires Laura Dogu announced the resumption of diplomatic activities, signaling a new era in US-Venezuela relations. The reopening follows the restoration of diplomatic ties earlier in the month and a US military operation in January that led to the removal of former President Nicolas Maduro. Delcy Rodriguez, Maduro's former vice president, now serves as interim president with the Trump administration's approval. The Trump administration has reportedly been pressing Rodriguez's government for concessions, including access to Venezuela's oil reserves and natural resources.
