US EditionTrump Declines Support for Nobel Laureate Machado After Venezuela Operation
Despite her Nobel Peace Prize and praise for Trump's military operation, U.S. officials favor Maduro's vice president to maintain stability amid Venezuela's power shift.
- On Monday, Maria Corina Machado told Fox News host Sean Hannity she plans to return to Venezuela as soon as possible, speaking from an undisclosed location after Nicolás Maduro's capture.
- After collecting the Nobel last year in Oslo, Machado was barred from the 2024 presidential primary and has been in hiding since January, planning her return to Venezuela, she said.
- Telling Fox News, Machado said `We will turn Venezuela into the energy hub of the Americas` and vowed to dismantle the 'criminal structures' that harmed Venezuelans.
- United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned about instability in Venezuela and questioned the operation's legality, while Nicolás Maduro pleaded not guilty in a New York court with a hearing set for March 17.
- U.S. President Donald Trump told the New York Post that Machado could only win 'if I did support her,' and analysts believe this refers to loyalties within the Venezuelan armed forces supporting Delcy Rodríguez.

Trump must resist nation building
The Maduro snatch was not an easy operation. When the goal is to find and extract two uncooperating individuals surrounded by armed men, everything must work perfectly. It did.
