Nobel Laureate María Corina Machado: ‘I Absolutely Support President Trump’s Strategy’ in Venezuela

Machado supports Trump’s strategy as a credible threat to Maduro, aiming to restore democracy and encourage the return of Venezuelan migrants, after increased U.S. pressure.

  • On Sunday, María Corina Machado said she supports President Trump's strategy amid increased U.S. pressure and dedicated her Nobel Peace Prize to him for prioritizing Venezuela.
  • In recent weeks, the United States has escalated pressure on the Maduro regime with regional military assets, strikes on alleged drug boats, sanctions on six companies and family members, and seizure of an oil rig.
  • Last week, Machado escaped Venezuela to collect her Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo, Norway, and on Sunday, she said the Venezuelan Armed Forces and police are divided as members of the military contact the opposition.
  • Machado predicted mass returns of Venezuelan migrants once Maduro falls, saying, "the day Maduro goes, you will see tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of Venezuelan migrants coming back home" and named the United States as the main ally for a negotiated transition.
  • Acknowledging trade-offs, Machado said, 'We have been asking this for years, so it's finally happening,' but warned sanctions risk harming the impoverished Venezuelan people and that members of the military fear persecution amid widespread killings.
