The United States flag is Raised exactly seven years after it was removed,..
(Tyler Durden Reports) – The United States Embassy in Caracas announced on X early Saturday morning that the U.S. flag was raised for the first time in seven years, stating that “a new era has begun for relations between the United States and Venezuela.”
“On the morning of March 14, 2019, the American flag was lowered for the last time at the United States Embassy in Caracas. This morning, March 14, 2026, at the same hour, my team and I raised the United States flag, exactly seven years after it was removed,” the embassy said, adding, “A new era has begun for relations between the United States and Venezuela. We are staying with Venezuela. – LFD.”

The reopening of the American embassy in Caracas comes a little more than three months after former left-wing President Nicolás Maduro was forcibly removed from power by U.S. Delta Force operators in a daring midnight raid. Shortly afterward, President Trump backed Maduro’s successor, Acting President Delcy Rodríguez.
That “new era” the U.S. embassy describes is one in which American companies are investing billions of dollars in the South American country across the energy and mining sectors.
Reuters previously reported that Chevron and Shell were close to the first major new oil production deals in Venezuela.
Last week, Reuters reported that the U.S. expanded sanctions waivers to support investment in electricity infrastructure and the energy industry, including fertilizer, and to allow U.S. companies to negotiate contracts for future projects within the country.
Venezuela’s economy has been financially crushed by sanctions as well as by profound economic mismanagement under former socialist leader Maduro. Economists estimate that inflation surged by 400% last year.
Across the Caribbean, on Friday, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel was forced to admit that his administration is in talks with the Trump administration aimed at “finding solutions through dialogue” to longstanding bilateral differences between the two neighboring countries.
The Trump administration is in the process of ridding the Western Hemisphere of socialists and communists who have caused nothing but trouble and have squandered the inheritances of entire nations.
