💨 Abstract

Brazil's government announced the temporary closure of the shared border with Venezuela, hours after President Nicolas Maduro was sworn in for a new term following a disputed election. The border closure, effective through next Monday, was made in response to an order from Venezuelan officials. Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has not officially recognized Maduro as the election winner. Brazil's consular officials will assist Brazilian citizens during the border closure.
