Trump says he will meet Venezuela opposition leader Machado, and threatens drug cartel land strikes

Donald Trump stated he will meet with Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado sometime next week. This announcement comes after Trump's recent actions in Venezuela, including the capture of President Nicolás Maduro. While initially dismissing Machado, Trump now anticipates meeting her. The interim Venezuelan government, led by Delcy Rodríguez, has begun releasing political prisoners, potentially as a concession to the U.S. Trump also reiterated his stance on combating drug cartels, threatening land strikes in Latin America, a continuation of actions that began in September. He acknowledged that it will take time for Venezuela to be in a place where they can hold elections.
