Would it take an act of Congress?

It should, but it won’t. Congress was supposed to set policies. Then the president was supposed to carry out those policies.
Those days are gone. We now live in the age of the imperial presidency. I heard on the news the other day that Biden was cancelling some oil leases on federal land. Who is he to do that on his own? Congress should decide.
while the constitution does not specifically provide for it, I believe a president can issue a statement “recognizing” a foreign country
policically speaking however, it would be the death of the D party in America if he tried it
