  • Country:
  • Venezuela

Delcy Rodríguez has surpassed the 90-day limit of her temporary presidency in Venezuela, following the high court's regulations, after the US apprehension of Nicolás Maduro in January.

Uncertainty looms over the extension of Rodríguez's term as Venezuela's acting president, with no public vote by lawmakers beyond last Friday's deadline.
