UPDATE: Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado has just praised U.S. President Donald Trump for his firm stance against the regime of Nicolás Maduro, calling it “absolutely correct.” This comes as the White House considers escalating military actions against Maduro’s government, amidst growing international scrutiny.
Speaking via video link at the America Business Forum in Miami on Wednesday, Machado, a Nobel Peace Prize nominee, emphasized the urgent need for action against a regime she claims is illegitimate. “Maduro is not a legitimate head of state,” she stated, reinforcing the position that the U.S. efforts could “protect millions of lives of Latin American citizens, especially Venezuelans.”
Machado remains in hiding after Maduro’s refusal to acknowledge the results of last year’s elections, which many—including the U.S.—believe favored his opponent, Edmundo González Urrutia. Her call for international support highlights the critical situation in Venezuela, where political turmoil and economic collapse have left citizens in dire straits.
Her remarks come at a time when the Trump administration is weighing various strategies to address the ongoing crisis. The potential for military involvement signals a significant shift that could impact not only Venezuela but the entire region. Machado’s endorsement of these measures underscores her hope for a stable future in her country.
The situation in Venezuela continues to be dire, with reports of widespread poverty and repression under Maduro’s rule. Machado’s advocacy for Trump’s approach not only reflects her desperation for change but also resonates with many Venezuelans who view U.S. intervention as a possible lifeline.
Authorities and international observers are closely monitoring the developments as both the U.S. and Venezuelan governments navigate this fraught landscape. The stakes are high, and the world is watching as tensions escalate.
As this situation continues to unfold, Machado’s call for decisive action could be pivotal in shaping the future of Venezuela. The urgency for change is palpable, and the international community is urged to take note of these developments.
Stay tuned as we bring you the latest updates on this evolving story. The implications for millions hinge on the actions taken in the coming days.
