World Alert: U.S., Venezuela reach deal to keep diplomats in each other's capitals for 30 days as they seek a broader accord

The United States and Venezuela announced a temporary reprieve from their standoff late Saturday as the countries agreed to work on migration and bilateral issues.

European nations threatened to join Washington and leave the socialist leader increasingly isolated.
