AI Summary

short article 1 min

The American flag was raised at the US embassy in Venezuela on Saturday, marking its first appearance since 2019. This event signals a shift in relations between the US and Venezuela following the capture of President Nicolas Maduro by American troops in January. While the flag is now displayed, the embassy building is currently undergoing renovations, and the reopening date remains uncertain. The move follows statements of support from US President Donald Trump for acting President Delcy Rodriguez, Maduro's successor, who has been engaged in negotiations with the American government. The US embassy team noted that the flag was raised exactly seven years after its removal. The flag raising has garnered attention from residents in Caracas.
