Trump to Meet Machado on Venezuela’s Post-Maduro Path

Trump will host Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado to discuss Venezuela’s future after Nicolás Maduro’s capture, as Washington recognizes interim leader Delcy Rodríguez and moves to secure oil interests with a deal for up to 50 million barrels of crude. Machado has criticized Maduro’s government and publicly courted Trump, while the White House has kept her largely sidelined during this transitional period, which has seen some political prisoners released but remains unstable.
