Machado Says She Has Not Spoken to Trump Since October. Maria Corina Machado said her last conversation with Donald Trump was on October 10, the day she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Speaking to Fox News, the Venezuelan opposition leader said there has been no contact with the U.S. president since then. Machado described the recent U.S. operation against Venezuela’s leadership as “a huge step for humanity, freedom and human dignity.” The interview marked her first public comments since U.S. strikes and the capture of Venezuela’s president over the weekend. She said she plans to return to Venezuela “as soon as possible,” amid uncertainty over the country’s leadership. Vice President Delcy Rodríguez was sworn in as interim president on Monday following the U.S. intervention. Trump has publicly dismissed working with Machado, saying she lacks sufficient support inside Venezuela. The political future of Venezuela remains unclear as Washington asserts greater influence.
