US forces conducted a precision raid into Caracas on January 3, 2026, capturing President Nicolás Maduro and his wife in Operation Absolute Resolve, with no reported US casualties or sustained troop presence afterward, as confirmed by the Defense Department. In the past 30 days, relations have thawed significantly: diplomatic ties were reestablished March 5, sanctions were lifted from interim President Delcy Rodríguez on April 1, and the US embassy resumed operations by late March, amid reports of US convoys and escorts in the capital signaling advisory influence. No new military entries have occurred, reflecting de-escalation focused on oil control and stability; watch for Maduro loyalist resistance, congressional war powers resolutions, or regional drug interdiction escalations that could prompt re-entry.
