U.S., Venezuela Reach Agreement to Restore Full Diplomatic Ties
Venezuela severed all diplomatic ties with the United States in January 2019, citing what Caracas characterized as persistent interference in the country's internal affairs. By March of that year, all U.S. embassy personnel had completed their withdrawal from Venezuelan soil.
The path to renewed relations was set against a dramatic backdrop. On January 3, U.S. military forces launched a large-scale strike against Venezuela, resulting in the capture of President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, both of whom were subsequently transported to the United States.
Diplomatic contact between the two nations formally resumed on January 31, when a U.S. diplomatic mission touched down in Caracas — the first such official presence in the Venezuelan capital since the rupture nearly six years prior.
Thursday's announcement signals Washington's intent to move beyond that interim contact and cement a full restoration of the diplomatic framework that once governed relations between the two countries.
