Venezuelan Opposition Leader Machado Fails in Return Attempts as Rodriguez Meets Trump

The opposition leader sought to return by boat and through Caribbean islands as Delcy Rodríguez met Donald Trump at the U.N. General Assembly.

  • Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado attempted to return home three times in the past 24 hours but failed to complete the journey, according to reports on Tuesday.
  • Machado has remained in Panama since leaving Venezuela in late 2025 to collect her Nobel Peace Prize and meet US officials, having lived in hiding following the disputed 2024 presidential election.
  • Daughter Ana Corina Sosa confirmed on Tuesday that her mother is actively trying to return, acknowledging "many forces" make the process "not as simple as boarding a plane."
  • President Delcy Rodriguez met with President Donald Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent in New York on Tuesday, deepening Washington's engagement with her government.
  • Despite being Venezuela's most popular political figure with a 53 per cent positive image, Machado faces uncertainty as the US prioritizes ties with Rodriguez during the country's political transition.
