MIAMI—Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado celebrated President Donald Trump’s strong approach to her nation, calling it “absolutely correct” as the White House considers further military actions targeting drug trafficking from Venezuela.
Machado, a Nobel Peace Prize winner, spoke by video at the America Business Forum in Miami on Nov. 5. She remains in hiding after Maduro refused to accept last year’s election results in Venezuela, which the United States and other nations have maintained went in favor of his opponent, Edmundo González Urrutia.
