TOPSHOT - Venezuela's interim President Delcy Rodriguez (R) and Aracelis Leon, president of the Venezuelan Baseball Federation, hold a trophy during an event to honor the national baseball team after its victory in the World Baseball Classic at the Miraflores Palace in Caracas on March 18, 2026. Venezuelan flags hang from windows, hundreds wear the national team's jersey, and a holiday has been declared: the country woke up celebrating on March 18 after its first World Baseball Classic title, a celebration that some even link to the fall of Nicolas Maduro.
