The last remaining American diplomats in Venezuela left the country on Thursday, amid deteriorating ties between Washington and Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
"I know it is a difficult moment for them," U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said of the departing diplomats. He said they would continue to carry on their"mission from other locations, where they will continue to help manage the flow of humanitarian assistance to the Venezuelan people."
James Story, who was the top-ranking U.S. diplomat in Venezuela, said in a video message that most Venezuelans don't support Maduro and that the government had used"the threat of armed gangs" against its people. Meanwhile, businesses re-opened and public transportation resumed in parts of Venezuela where power has been restored, ending nearly a week of the country's worst blackouts. The government says the national power grid is functioning well and that running water has returned to most of the country, though some areas reported continuing problems.
Pompeo tweeted earlier in the week that the U.S. diplomats were being withdrawn because their continued presence in Caracas had become a"constraint" on U.S. policy. He did not clarify what he meant by that remark.
