Machado said the U.S. has outlined a transition plan that would lead to presidential elections in 2027 and thanked Washington for its role.
- On Thursday, Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado spoke in Caracas following her return, noting U.S. suggestions for presidential elections next year and citing Secretary of State Marco Rubio's backing for a 2027 vote.
