CARACAS/OSLO (Reuters) -Venezuela's government said on Monday it will close its embassies in Norway and Australia and open new ones in Burkina Faso and Zimbabwe in a restructuring of its foreign service, after weeks of growing tensions with the U.S.

The closure of Venezuela's embassy in Canberra follows the Nobel Peace Prize being awarded to Venezuela's opposition leader over the weekend. But are the two related?

The Venezuelan Embassy in Oslo has been closed, Norway's Foreign Ministry confirmed on Monday. "We have received information from the Venezuelan embassy that they are closing the embassy, ​​without justification. This is regrettable," Cecilie Roang, press contact at the ministry, told public broadcaster NRK.

Some users felt that Donald Trump did not deserve the Nobel Peace Prize, pointing out that he renamed the Department of Defense to Department of War
