‘She’s a good woman, a very nice woman...’: Trump praises Machado but comfortable with those in power

President Donald Trump says he spoke with Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado and described her as “a good woman, a very nice woman.” He said they have a “very good relationship” and claimed he gets along with both sides in Venezuela’s political conflict. Trump’s comments follow Machado’s recent visit to Washington and her ongoing push for a democratic transition in Venezuela. The exchange signals continued U.S. engagement with Venezuela’s opposition as the country faces deep political and economic crisis.
