Machado Navigates Trump’s Oil Deal and Venezuela’s Political Shift

Maria Machado is an opposition leader in Venezuela.

Some people thought Donald Trump would help her replace Nicolás Maduro.

Machado is described as a conservative activist who supports democracy.

She had even given Trump her Nobel Prize award.

But Trump chose to support someone named Rodriguez instead.

Trump also warned Machado that she could face a very serious punishment if she did not act as he wanted.

As a result, Machado was left out of the main political process.

The story says she now has to be very careful about how she responds to Trump’s oil deal with Caracas.
