CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Venezuela’s government has revoked permission for Brazil to serve as custodian of Argentina’s diplomatic missions in the country, alleging several anti-government opponents holed up for months in the Argentine ambassador’s residence had been plotting terrorist acts from the compound.
In a statement Saturday, Venezuela’s foreign ministry said it had notified Brazil of its decision, which will take effect immediately. It said it was forced to take action based on what it called evidence — which it hasn’t shared — that those who sought refuge in Argentina’s diplomatic mission were plotting to assassinate President Nicolás Maduro and Vice President Delcy Rodríguez.
