Venezuela announced on Friday that it has initiated talks with the United States to restore diplomatic relations, days after US forces removed Nicolas Maduro from power. The move marks a significant step in cooperation following the capture of the former president.
Officials said US diplomats traveled to Caracas to assess reopening the Venezuelan embassy, while the Venezuelan government plans to send a delegation to Washington. Foreign Minister Yvan Gil described the talks as an exploratory process aimed at re-establishing diplomatic missions in both countries.
Interim President Delcy Rodriguez condemned the US military action against Venezuela but emphasized that her government intends to pursue diplomacy. Meanwhile, protesters in Caracas continued daily demonstrations demanding Maduro’s release, highlighting domestic opposition to US intervention.
US President Donald Trump met with top oil executives, promoting investment in Venezuela’s crude reserves. Companies expressed caution, citing the need for significant reforms. Trump also highlighted that any oil deals would be handled through Washington, not Caracas.
Venezuela began releasing political prisoners, a gesture that the US claimed influenced its decision to halt a second wave of attacks. Families gathered outside prisons as authorities started freeing detainees, marking the first such action since the January 3 raid.
The diplomatic efforts and economic discussions signal a potential shift in Venezuela-US relations amid ongoing unrest.
