United States deploys military and humanitarian aid for Venezuela earthquake relief.
Following two major earthquakes in north-central Venezuela, the United States committed over $300 million in aid and deployed roughly 2,000 troops and search-and-rescue teams to assist recovery efforts. The death toll has surpassed 2,000, with over 10,000 injured. The relief operation marks a significant shift in U.S.-Venezuela relations just months after a U.S. military raid captured former leader Nicolás Maduro.
