Venezuela has cut diplomatic relations with 7 Latin American countries, citing "interventionist acts" after they questioned President Nicolas Maduro's election legitimacy. The nations affected are Argentina, Chile, Costa Rica, Peru, Panama, Dominican Republic, and Uruguay. Venezuela has expelled their diplomats and withdrawn its own staff. The move follows a regional rift over Maduro's controversial re-election. Venezuela asserts its right to self-determination and warns against further interference. The diplomatic rift raises tensions in the region, with implications for regional cooperation and stability.
