The politician later visited a church in Lara state, where dozens of supporters greeted her. Opposition leader Edmundo González also confirmed her arrival and said that he would join her soon.
Trump commented on Machado’s return
After Maduro was removed by the US military, Venezuela has been governed by an interim president, who has already exceeded the stipulated term in office. At the same time, the authorities have still not set a date for the presidential election.
US President Donald Trump told reporters that he did not know about Machado’s return.
I hope she is safe. She is a very good woman. But things are going very well for us in Venezuela
