AI Summary

medium article 3 min

Donald Trump will meet with Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado at the White House on Thursday to discuss Venezuela's future after Nicolás Maduro's capture by the U.S. Machado's visit comes as the White House has been engaging with Maduro's former vice-president, Delcy Rodríguez, as interim leader, and is planning to reopen the Venezuelan embassy in Washington. Despite Machado's Nobel Peace Prize and recognition of her replacement as the legitimate winner of the presidential election, Trump has questioned her ability to govern. The meeting's outcome may hinge on Machado's ability to leverage her award to gain Trump's support, as he has expressed interest in sharing the honor.
