- Former President Donald Trump is set to hold talks with María Corina Machado, a prominent Venezuelan opposition leader and Nobel Peace Prize laureate.
- Trump’s meeting with Machado comes despite his recent praise for an “exceptional” loyalist of Nicolás Maduro, the current President of Venezuela.
- The discussions with Machado indicate Trump’s involvement in Venezuelan political matters, particularly in relation to the country’s opposition leadership.

- The meeting signifies a significant diplomatic effort by Trump to influence the future leadership and political direction of Venezuela.
