Here’s what is currently known:
CIA Role Likely Early Focal Point
Multiple outlets report that the Central Intelligence Agency is expected to play a major role initially, particularly during the fragile transition period, as Washington weighs how to re-engage securely and effectively on the ground.
Diplomacy Still in the Works
The U.S. State Department is expected to lead formal diplomatic relations over the long term, but initial groundwork — including security assessments and establishing contacts with interim leadership — is likely being driven first by intelligence and special teams.
Limited Diplomatic Team Already Active
U.S. personnel are reportedly operating in Caracas now as part of early efforts to resume diplomatic relations after years of disengagement, according to senior officials.
New Envoy Appointment
The U.S. has named a new top envoy for Venezuela following Maduro’s capture, signaling intent to formalize diplomatic channels and explore reopening the embassy.
Washington is moving beyond passive observation — it’s actively exploring how to restart a diplomatic and operational footprint in Venezuela. The initial focus appears to be on security, intelligence engagement, and groundwork before a full diplomatic mission is restored. But key strategy details and objectives have not been made public yet.
More updates expected as official statements and on-the-ground actions unfold.
