Trump's New Outburst: Declares Himself 'Acting President of Venezuela'

Donald Trump has caused a new stir with a post on Truth Social, where he declared himself 'acting president of Venezuela' from January 2026. This move comes shortly after expressing his willingness to meet with the interim president of Venezuela, Delcy Rodriguez, and amid diplomatic efforts to restore US-Venezuela relations. Trump had stated that his only morality is his limit and that he does not need international law. This behavior intensifies uncertainty and jeopardizes diplomatic efforts.
