The U.S. conducted a targeted military strike, Operation Absolute Resolve, on January 3, 2026, suppressing Venezuelan air defenses and deploying Delta Force to capture former President Nicolás Maduro and his wife on federal narcoterrorism charges, but stopped short of a full-scale ground invasion or occupation. Maduro's interim successor, Vice President Delcy Rodríguez, was sworn in days later, maintaining continuity in government amid U.S. demands for political prisoner releases and oil sector reforms. Recent de-escalation includes reestablished diplomatic ties on March 5, U.S. Embassy Caracas reopening March 30, and sanctions lifted on Rodríguez April 1, fostering energy deals worth billions. No ongoing U.S. military presence or further strikes reported, with trader consensus reflecting normalized relations and low escalation risk ahead of Maduro's ongoing trial.
