The United States on Thursday eased its warning for Americans against traveling to Venezuela, two and a half months after it ousted President Nicolás Maduro. U.S. forces conducted a raid on January 3, during which Maduro was arrested. The U.S. State Department said Americans should still 'reconsider travel' to the South American country, but it lifted its previous 'do not travel' advisory. The new general warning does not mention the risk of arbitrary arrests or unrest in Venezuela, but it still urges Americans to exercise caution regarding crime, kidnapping, and terrorism risks, as well as the country's weak health infrastructure.
