Trump-Machado Rift Over Venezuela Leadership
Update: 2026-01-05
Description
President Trump distances himself from Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, following her acceptance of the Nobel Peace Prize, an award Trump has long desired. Trump dismisses Machados leadership chances, while her allies, including Florida Republicans, rally behind her. The coup that removed Nicolas Maduro from power has led to Delcy Rodriguezs recognition as acting president by the armed forces. Trump warns Cuba, Colombia, and Iran after the successful operation, as Venezuela faces a shaky transition with oil wealth and regional threats at stake.
