Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado returns to Caracas

Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado has returned to Caracas following several months in exile. Her reappearance in the capital ends an absence that began just one month prior to the United States government seizing Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.

Announcing her arrival, Machado delivered a direct message, stating, "I'm here, with you." In conjunction with her return, her political representatives expressed gratitude toward US President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio for their backing.

The explicit acknowledgment of senior American officials highlights a strategic effort by her team to emphasize her ongoing relationship with Washington as she resumes her physical presence within Venezuela.
