A new US envoy has arrived in Caracas, with the goal of reopening the US diplomatic mission in Venezuela. The arrival of the new envoy comes as the previous top US diplomat in Venezuela has stepped down, although the circumstances of the change are unclear, with some reports suggesting a stabilization plan is moving forward and others mentioning the arrival of the new envoy in the context of a change in Venezuela's leadership. The US has reportedly been seeking to reopen its diplomatic mission in Venezuela after a seven-year closure.
