Washington Considers Reopening US Embassy in Caracas Pending Trump's Decision

The United States is preparing to reopen its embassy in the Venezuelan capital, Caracas, if President Donald Trump decides to proceed with such a move. A senior State Department official stated that preparations are underway to allow the embassy to resume operations, but the final decision rests with the President. This development follows indictments against Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his family by the US. Reopening the embassy would signal a potential shift in US policy towards Venezuela after years of tension and sanctions. The situation is being closely monitored by the international community, as Venezuela is facing a deep political and economic crisis.
