Venezuelan opposition leader Machado fails in return attempts as Rodriguez meets Trump: Report
Machado’s team said air and sea barriers blocked her return as Washington deepened cooperation with Rodríguez on energy, mining and security.
- On Tuesday, opposition leader Maria Corina Machado made three unsuccessful attempts to return to Venezuela via air and sea, according to her team. The failed bids mark the latest in an ongoing struggle to end her exile.
- Since clandestinely leaving Venezuela nine months ago, Machado has faced seven failed return efforts, adviser Pedro Urruchurtu confirmed via social media. She has remained in Panama while navigating logistical and security barriers.
- Simultaneously, interim President Delcy Rodriguez met President Donald Trump in New York on Tuesday to discuss cooperation in energy, mining, and security. The meeting marked their first face-to-face encounter since Maduro's removal.
- Machado remains Venezuela's most popular political figure with a 53 per cent positive image, though daughter Ana Corina Sosa acknowledged returning is 'not as simple as boarding a plane.' Many forces complicate the process.
- Bloomberg reports Machado's potential return could complicate Rodriguez's government, which has already welcomed other exiled allies back. Her re-entry remains constrained by the U.S.-backed political transition framework.
