Asked whether Machado, the Nobel Peace Prize winner and the most prominent opposition leader, could be the country's next leader, Trump responded bluntly:
" I think it would be very difficult for her to be a leader. She doesn't have enough support or respect within the country. She's a very good woman, but she doesn't have respect ."
The statement marks a sharp shift from the administration's previous signals about Machado, who was seen as a possible figure for a democratic transition after Maduro's ouster. Trump's distrust appears to run deeper, leaving open the possibility that the US may not immediately hand over power to the traditional opposition, but rather administer the country directly through a controlled structure.
Then, Trump returned to the topic of oil, for which he no longer hid any intention: " It will not cost us anything. The money coming out of the ground is very large. American oil companies will invest, and we will get the oil back. Oil that, frankly, we should have gotten a long time ago ."
He added: "We will be reimbursed for everything we spend. For everything."
In closing, Trump described the intervention as a “great thing” that will bring great benefits to the US – and in the end, “the biggest beneficiary will be the people of Venezuela.”
