After Earthquakes, U.S. and Venezuela Work Together Despite Years Apart

Two massive earthquakes struck Venezuela on June 24, killing at least 188 people and injuring over 1,500. The U.S. sent rescue teams even though the two countries have been cut off from each other for years due to political disagreements. When disasters hit, countries often set aside disputes to help—like the U.S. did after Haiti's 2010 earthquake. The European Union also sent rescue teams.
