US EditionVenezuela's Delcy Rodríguez Remains Acting President After Her Initial 90-Day Appointment Expired
The Supreme Court’s ruling has frozen election deadlines while the United States recognizes Rodríguez as Venezuela’s authority.

- Deadlines appear frozen, leaving Venezuela's institutional status in limbo as the government faces pressure from oil and mining companies for legal and investment certainty.
