The Spin

Reopening the U.S. Embassy in Caracas right after a military operation seized Maduro reeks of resource grab, not liberation. Venezuela sits on the world's largest proven oil reserves, and no democratic election has been scheduled despite the opposition winning. The order of operations here tells the whole story — oil comes first, democracy comes never.

Reopening the U.S. Embassy in Caracas is a critical step in a deliberate, structured plan to restore real diplomacy with Venezuela. Ambassador Laura Dogu is already on the ground, rebuilding the chancery and engaging Venezuela's interim government, civil society and the private sector. This is exactly how a responsible transition back to legitimate governance gets done.
