American flag raised, flies over US Embassy in Venezuela building for first time in 7 years
AI Summary
After seven years, the American flag was raised again over the U.S. Embassy in Caracas, Venezuela on Saturday. The embassy had been closed since March 2019 when diplomatic relations between the U.S. and Venezuela were severed. The reopening comes months after former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro's capture by U.S. forces in January. Maduro is currently being held in a federal jail in New York, facing charges including narco-terrorism and weapons offenses; his wife also faces related charges. While the embassy compound is still undergoing renovations, the U.S. Embassy signaled the flag raising as the start of a new era in U.S.-Venezuela relations, with some residents expressing optimism about improved international ties.
