RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Many top foreign leaders look like skipping the opening ceremony of the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, put off by Brazil's political turmoil and a stream of bad news engulfing South America's first games.
Top politicians who do show up could face a diplomatic quandary when the games open in three weeks.
President Dilma Rousseff has been suspended and faces an impeachment trial, which could conclude days after the Olympics end. She has said she hopes to attend, meaning she would join interim president Michel Temer as the main faces of the host nation.
