The claim
“US and Venezuela agree to resume diplomatic ties after Maduro capture The US and Venezuela have agreed to re-establish diplomatic and consular relations.”
Our verdict
Misleading
The United States and Venezuela have indeed agreed to re‑establish diplomatic and consular relations, as confirmed by official State Department and embassy statements.
What we found
However, the claim ties this agreement to a supposed US military capture of Nicolás Maduro in January, for which no evidence exists in the provided sources or in reliable reporting. Consequently, the statement is partially true but rests on a false premise.
