The two nations signed a protecting powers agreement in early April. Once it is operational, the Swiss will be able to provide consular services to Americans in Venezuela. However, Swiss Embassy spokesperson Andreas Ledergerber told CNN on Wednesday that the agreement has still not entered into force. "In order for the arrangement to become operational, it needs to be formally accepted by Venezuela. This has not happened yet," he said.
