Brazil has officially recognized Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez as the country's acting head of state following President Nicolas Maduro's absence, signaling a major shift in regional diplomacy this week. 🌎 The announcement comes amid heightened cross-border tensions and global scrutiny over Venezuela's political stability.
"We Stand With Sovereignty"
Interim Foreign Minister Maria Laura da Rocha emphasized Brazil's commitment to international law, stating: "All nations must safeguard their sovereignty without external aggression."

Analysts suggest this development could reshape Latin American alliances in 2026, particularly as global powers vie for influence in resource-rich regions. 📈 Stay tuned for updates as this story evolves.
