A fourth U.S. citizen has been arrested in Venezuela in connection with an alleged plot to kill President Nicolás Maduro, according to the country’s interior minister, Diosdado Cabello. The citizen, who remains unnamed, was detained in Caracas while reportedly taking photos of critical infrastructure and military units.
Relations between the U.S. and Venezuela have been strained, with recent sanctions relief being rolled back due to antidemocratic actions by Maduro officials. The State Department is working to gather more information on the situation but faces constraints in assisting U.S. citizens in Venezuela.
