Caption: US And Venezuela Agree To Restore Diplomatic Relations After Maduro Capture. The United States and Venezuela have agreed to restore diplomatic and consular relations, marking a major shift after years of tensions between the two countries. The move follows the capture of former Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro earlier this year during a US military operation. Maduro and his wife were taken to the United States to face criminal charges, which they both deny. Officials say the renewed relationship will focus on promoting stability, supporting economic recovery and encouraging political reconciliation in Venezuela. The US embassy in Caracas, which closed in 2019, has already reopened and Washington has appointed a new diplomat to lead its mission. Venezuelan officials say they are ready to begin a new phase of dialogue, while the US says engagement should help create the conditions for a peaceful transition to democratic government.
