Venezuela opposition leader María Corina Machado, who has been living in hiding due to threats against her life, plans to return to the South American nation in the very near future now that dictator Nicolás Maduro has been deposed.

Venezuelan opposition leader and Nobel Peace Prize winner María Corina Machado said she's "absolutely" supportive of President Trump's strategy in the country.

With Nicolás Maduro out, experts say Nobel laureate María Corina Machado and Edmundo González could lead Venezuela’s transition, though major hurdles remain.

“It’s a tremendous strategic and moral mistake” for Trump to distance himself from Machado, says Ian Vásquez, an expert on Latin America at the Cato Institute. To say Machado doesn’t have support inside Venezuela is “patently untrue,” says Vásquez.
