Venezuelan opposition leader and Nobel Peace laureate María Corina Machado said that she fully supports President Donald Trump's strategy toward Venezuela, arguing that increased U.S. pressure has left Nicolás Maduro's regime vulnerable and closer to collapse.
"We, the Venezuelan people, are very grateful to him and to his administration, because I believe he is a champion of freedom in this hemisphere," Machado said in an interview aired Sunday on CBS's Face the Nation, adding that Trump has made Venezuela "a priority for the United States national security," a shift she said the opposition had sought for years."That's why I believe the regime has its days numbered," she said.
