Trump considers role in Venezuela for Machado

Trump considers María Corina Machado for a role in Venezuela amid U.S. talks with acting president Delcy Rodríguez and strategic oversight of Venezuelan oil revenues.

  • On Thursday, President Donald Trump met María Corina Machado at the White House while CIA Director John Ratcliffe met Delcy Rodríguez at Maiquetía International Airport VIP terminal nearly simultaneously.
  • U.S. officials framed talks around intelligence cooperation and economic stability, discussing measures to end Venezuela as a safe haven and controlling $500 million oil proceeds in a Qatar bank account.
  • Leaked images and ceremonial gestures underscored the unusual publicity around the contacts as the CIA released photos showing General Gustavo González López meeting John Ratcliffe, while María Corina Machado presented a large framed medal and left the White House with souvenirs.
  • Public protests followed, with demonstrators taking to the streets chanting demands as over 40 demonstrators in downtown St. Petersburg protested and deportation flights resumed on Friday.
  • Delcy Rodríguez told the National Assembly she would propose reforms to the Hydrocarbons Law, while Exxon and other multinational oil companies demand legal guarantees and tax changes before returning, as the IMF and Israeli Embassy may reappear in Caracas.
