The U.S. government has declined to comment on allegations by Venezuelan authorities that a local extremist group plotted to attack the shuttered U.S. Embassy in Caracas, reiterating instead that Washington has had no diplomatic presence in Venezuela since 2019.
"In March 2019, the Department of State withdrew all diplomatic personnel from the U.S. Embassy in Caracas and suspended operations," a State Department spokesperson told Europa Press. "All consular services, both routine and emergency, remain suspended until further notice."
