| US plans to 'renominate' ambassador to Venezuela

The Obama administration left the door open to naming a new ambassador to Venezuela, possibly moving to defuse a row with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez over its first choice.
The comments by the State Department came yesterday after US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton shook hands and chatted briefly with Chavez at the inauguration Saturday of Brazil's President Dilma Rousseff.
US State Department spokesman Philip Crowley told reporters that President Barack Obama's administration never formally withdrew its choice of Larry Palmer but "his nomination formally expired with the end of the last Congress."
Crowley added: "We will have to renominate an ambassador candidate."
When asked if there could be a nominee other than Palmer, Crowley replied: "These are issues that we will be evaluating, you know, with the new year."
