美国驻加拉加斯大使馆表示，其所有员工现已重返馆内办公，此前美国外交人员多年在境外处理委内瑞拉事务。这一举动是华盛顿与加拉加斯关系缓和迄今最明确的迹象之一。双方政府均未详述促使这一举动的原因。
The US embassy in Caracas said all of its staff are once more working from inside the building, after years of a reduced presence abroad. The move is among the clearest signs yet of a thaw between Washington and Caracas. Neither government detailed what prompted it.
美国驻加拉加斯大使馆周六证实，其全体员工现已驻扎在使馆院内，此前多年来美国外交官一直在国外处理委内瑞拉事务。这一宣布标志着双边关系迈出罕见的实质性一步，过去十年间该关系在对抗与谨慎接触之间反复摇摆。
The US embassy in Caracas confirmed on Saturday that its full staff is now based inside the compound, after years in which American diplomats handled the Venezuela file from outside the country. The announcement marks a rare, concrete step in a relationship that has swung between confrontation and cautious contact for much of the past decade.
在委内瑞拉有争议的2019年总统大选后，华盛顿与加拉加斯切断了大部分正式关系，美国承认一位反对派人物为该国合法领导人，并对其石油部门实施全面制裁。此后有限接触断断续续持续，主要涉及移民、被拘留美国人，以及最近的委内瑞拉石油出口问题。
Washington and Caracas severed most formal ties after Venezuela's disputed 2019 presidential vote, with the US recognizing an opposition figure as the country's legitimate leader and imposing sweeping sanctions on its oil sector. Limited contact has continued on and off since, largely over migration, detained Americans and, more recently, Venezuela's oil exports.
双方政府均未详述促使员工回归的原因，加拉加斯官方也未发布正式回应。观察人士将关注此举是否会带来制裁缓解或释放被拘留者等进一步步骤，此类举措在双方过往的类似善意姿态中曾有出现。
Neither government detailed what prompted the staff's return, and officials in Caracas issued no formal response. Observers will watch for whether the move is followed by further steps on sanctions relief or detainee releases, which have previously accompanied similar gestures between the two governments.
