U.S. Marines reactivate security detachment at Caracas embassy
The United States has officially reactivated the Marine Corps Security Detachment at its embassy in Caracas, Venezuela. The reactivation ceremony, held on October 16, was attended by General Eric M. Smith, Commandant of the Marine Corps, and U.S. Chargé d'Affaires John Barrett.
The deployment of Marine Security Guards restores the standard global protection protocol for U.S. diplomatic facilities and personnel in the country. This move follows the reopening of the U.S. embassy in Caracas this past March, which occurred alongside the restoration of diplomatic ties between Washington and the Venezuelan interim government led by Delcy Rodríguez.
This security reinforcement is described as a key step in a three-phase plan for the normalization of bilateral relations between the United States and Venezuela, a strategy overseen by the administration of President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The presence of the Marines aims to strengthen institutional channels and ensure the safety of diplomatic missions as relations continue to evolve.
