La líder opositora venezolana y Premio Nobel de la Paz, María Corina Machado, llegó este jueves al mediodía

se trata del primer encuentro entre Trump y Machado y ocurre menos de dos semanas después de que Estados Unidos detuvo a maduro durante un ataque en Venezuela el pasado 3 de enero, operación en la que fueron capturados el exlíder chavista y su esposa, Cilia Flores, y trasladados a Nueva York para ser juzgados por cargos de narcotráfico.
La reunión también ocurre un día después de que el mandatario republicano habló por teléfono con Delcy Rodríguez, actual líder del régimen en Venezuela, a quien calificó como una “persona estupenda” y de quien dijo que estados Unidos “trabaja muy bien con ella”.

“Es una mujer muy agradable”, afirmó Trump en una entrevista en Reu
