The United States has removed Venezuela from its annual list of major drug transit and production countries, according to a report by Al Jazeera.

President Donald Trump said Venezuela had made progress in combating narcotics trafficking since the removal of former President Nicolás Maduro, the report said.

The list, compiled annually by the US government, designates countries considered significant sources or transit routes for illegal drugs entering the United States. Venezuela's removal marks a shift in how Washington characterizes the country's role in regional drug trafficking, according to the report.

Trump also indicated that Colombia and Bolivia could be removed from the list as well, the report said, though no further details on the timing or criteria for such a decision were provided in the report.

Al Jazeera's report did not specify additional details on the process behind the list update or provide further comment from US officials on the decision.
