She's offered to share her Nobel with Trump. But what might Machado ask for in return?

AI Summary

long article 4 min

Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado is scheduled to meet with Donald Trump at the White House on Thursday. This meeting follows Machado's public offer to share her Nobel Peace Prize with Trump, who has long desired the award. Despite Trump's initial coolness towards Machado and his recent support for Venezuela's Vice-President Delcy Rodríguez, Machado hopes to persuade him to recognize her opposition coalition as the legitimate leadership during Venezuela's transition. The meeting's purpose is for Machado to convince Trump that his backing of Rodríguez's interim government is a mistake. Ultimately, Trump's view of Machado's role will likely depend on Rodríguez's actions and whether they align with his goals for Venezuela.
