Story’s nomination was confirmed by a US Senate vote. He had previously led an American “virtual embassy” while serving as Chargé d’affairs for the Venezuela Affairs Unit in Bogota, the capital of Venezuela’s neighbor, Colombia.
Washington and Caracas have not exchanged ambassadors since 2010 when then-Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez refused to accept Barack Obama’s nominee, Larry Palmer, as US envoy. Chavez said Palmer broke “all rules of diplomacy” after he had accused Caracas of backing the left-wing FARC militants in Colombia. Washington retaliated by revoking the visa of Venezuelan envoy, Bernardo Alvarez Herrera.
