Welcoming Talks in Caracas to Advance Venezuela's Political Transition

Media Note

Office of the Spokesperson

August 6, 2026

The United States welcomes the arrival of Venezuela's 2015 National Assembly delegation, led by Dinorah Figuera, in Caracas for the start of in-person talks with the Venezuelan interim government.

These direct talks present a unique opportunity. We applaud the efforts to address the urgent needs of those affected by the June 24 earthquakes, expand political freedoms, and advance a more stable, prosperous and future for the Venezuelan people. The United States remains committed to supporting this Venezuelan-led process, which plays a key role in the President's three-phase plan to bring about stabilization, economic recovery and political reconciliation, and a peaceful transition.

We urge all concerned to support this effort to deliver tangible results for Venezuelans.
