On Friday morning, Trump posted on Truth Social praising the new cooperation between the United States and Venezuela following the arrest of Maduro, and announced that he had canceled the second wave of strikes planned against Venezuela. This early indication shows that Trump is satisfied with the level of cooperation between the current leadership in Venezuela and the Trump administration. In the post, Trump also stated that Venezuela would release "a large number" of political prisoners. A team from the U.S. State Department has already traveled to Venezuela on Friday to prepare to reopen the U.S. embassy in Venezuela. The delegation included the acting U.S. ambassador to Colombia, John McNamara, and personnel from the State Department's Venezuela Affairs Office, who are the first American diplomats sent to Venezuela since Maduro's arrest. The next steps of the Trump administration's plan regarding Venezuela are being closely watched. Previously, Trump said in an interview published in The New York Times on Thursday that the U.S. might manage Venezuelan government affairs for many years.
