‘Absolutely correct’: Machado praises Trump’s Venezuela actions
MIAMI — Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado on Wednesday praised President Donald Trump’s aggressive approach to the country as “absolutely correct,” as the White House weighs further military action on the socialist country.
The Nobel Peace Prize winner, who is in hiding and made her comments over video at the America Business Forum in downtown Miami, said Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro was “not a legitimate head of state” and that Trump’s actions would “protect millions of lives of Latin American citizens and certainly Venezuelan citizens.”
Calling Maduro “the head of this narco-terror structure that has declared war on the Venezuelan people and to democratic nations in the region,” Machado said criminal structures sustained the regime with the trafficking of drugs, gold, weapons and people.
“You need to cut those cash flows,” she said. “Maduro started this war, and President Trump is ending that war.”
Machado’s comments come as the administration has already struck more than a dozen Venezuelan vessels it alleged were carrying drugs, killing more than 60 people. The administration also doubled the bounty for Maduro’s capture to $50 million this year, following charges of drug conspiracy in 2020, and added Venezuela to its drug-transit list.
Machado did not mention reports that Trump is additionally weighing military action in Venezuela, including actions that could try to oust Maduro from power. Trump was asked on CBS “60 Minutes” on Sunday whether Maduro’s days in office were numbered, and said, “I think so, yeah.” He also said “I doubt it” when asked whether the U.S. was going to war with Venezuela.
Wednesday’s event, hosted at the Kaseya Center and moderated by Miami’s outgoing mayor, Francis Suarez, will also include a speech from Trump on Wednesday afternoon.
Despite Machado’s efforts that led to a presidential election in Venezuela in 2024, Maduro remained in power even as multiple outside analyses determined the results were fraudulent.
Machado, a conservative former member of the national assembly, said her Nobel prize was a “recognition of the will of our people” who “came together to fight the worst criminal regime.” She praised Trump’s leadership on the issue, as well as Secretary of State Marco Rubio, saying world leaders who supported her efforts “understand this is a universal cause.” She added that she hoped Venezuela’s success would lead to freedom for Cuba and Nicaragua, and predicted if Venezuela became a democracy then the country could open investment on oil, gas, mining and gold.
Machado also said she felt especially warmly toward Florida, given its 210,000 residents of Venezuelan descent. But she did not mention attempts by the Trump administration to end temporary protected status for Venezuelans, which allows immigrants from countries in crisis to work and live in the U.S.
“History will always remember what you have done as a community, as a nation, for freedom and justice around the world,” Machado said.00 -
On January 14, 2025, President Biden took action towards rescinding Cuba’s designation as a State Sponsor of Terrorism (“SST”) and to remove restrictions on financial transactions with certain Cuban parties by issuing to Congress a Certification of Rescission of Cuba’s Designation as a State Sponsor of Terrorism (“Certification”) and National Security Memorandum 29 (“NSM-29”) revoking a past National Security Presidential Memorandum related to Cuba that had been issued by then-President Trump in June 2017. President Biden also sent a Letter to the Chairmen and Chair of Certain Congressional Committees on the Suspension of the Right to Bring an Action Under Title III of the Cuban Liberty and Democtratic Solidarity (LIBERTAD) Act of 1996 (also known as the Helms-Burton Act) (“Title III Letter”) suspending for six months beyond January 29, 2025 the right to bring an action under Title III of the Act for “trafficking” in confiscated property claimed by US nationals.
This is the second time that President Trump has reversed his predecessor’s rescission of Cuba’s designation as an SST. Cuba was originally designated as an SST in 1982, but President Barack Obama rescinded that in May 2015. Then, on January 11, 2021, in the final days of the first Trump administration, the US State Department announced Cuba’s redesignation as an SST for allegedly supporting acts of international terrorism and granting safe harbor to terrorists.
Isn't Cuba the country that trained and armed the Polizario for decades?
We shall wait for good-for-nothing leaders like Carter and Biden to clean the world from evils and receive "humanitarian Nobel Prizes" of peace.01 -
