Venezuelan opposition leader Machado returns from exile
Maria Corina Machado, a Venezuelan opposition leader and Nobel laureate, returned to Venezuela after nearly a year in exile, receiving a warm welcome from supporters. Her arrival increases political pressure on interim president Delcy Rodriguez, who has been leading the country since the ousting of Nicolas Maduro. Machado's return follows her attempts to come back to Venezuela, which were blocked by authorities. She has praised US President Donald Trump for his role in the political situation, and her party is advocating for elections next year. Meanwhile, the interim government is negotiating reforms but has not scheduled new elections yet.
