María Corina Machado's Challenging Path: Diplomacy and Dismissal

Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado met with President Donald Trump at the White House. Despite Trump's dismissal of her credibility, Machado sought to discuss Venezuela’s future. The Trump administration appears more willing to work with Venezuela's acting President Delcy Rodríguez amid ongoing political tensions.

Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado visited the White House, meeting with President Donald Trump to discuss her nation's future amidst political turmoil. Despite Machado's longstanding opposition against Nicolás Maduro, Trump publicly cast doubt on her ability to lead post-Maduro Venezuela.

While Trump previously expressed skepticism about supporting Venezuela's democratic transition, his administration has shown a readiness to collaborate with acting President Delcy Rodríguez. Rodríguez, who served as Maduro's vice president, remains influential in governing operations following Maduro's ousting.

Machado has historically allied with U.S. political figures, yet her role seems overshadowed. The White House praised Machado's bravery but expressed no significant expectations from the meeting. Meanwhile, Venezuela, cooperating with U.S. interests, continues to see shifts under Rodríguez's interim leadership.
