Venezuela’s opposition leader, Maria Corina Machado, says she has not spoken to United States President Donald Trump since October last year, even as she fulsomely lauds his administration’s brazen military actions in Venezuela. “I think it would be very tough for her to be the leader,” Trump said of Machado. The opposition leader told Hannity she plans to return to Venezuela “as soon as possible”. “I dedicated it to President Trump because I believed, at that time, that he deserved it,” Machado told Hannity. Machado seemed to welcome this idea, telling Hannity that Venezuela would transform into an “energy hub” for the US.
