U.S.-Backed Transition Talks Commence in Caracas Following Maduro Capture
Formal transition negotiations between the Venezuelan government, led by acting President Delcy Rodriguez, and opposition factions officially commenced in Caracas on August 11.

The talks prioritize an institutional agenda proposed by the Trump administration to restore democratic rights after nearly three decades of socialist rule.
