Senior United States diplomats have visited Caracas to assess the possibility of reopening the embassy, which has been closed since 2019. The delegation, led by John McNamara, is conducting an initial evaluation for a phased return of diplomatic operations. The embassy was closed after Washington and several allies declared Nicolas Maduro's leadership illegitimate, citing election irregularities. While no formal decision has been made, preparations are underway, pending final approval from President Trump.
