US President Donald Trump said that he will probably meet with former Venezuelan opposition lawmaker Maria Corina Machado on January 13 or 14.
“I don't know, I heard it could be Tuesday or Wednesday“, he said in response to a question on the subject while speaking to reporters aboard his plane en route to Washington from West Palm Beach, Florida, where he was spending the weekend at his Mar-a-Lago estate.
Machado left Venezuela in 2025 to travel to Oslo to personally accept her Nobel Peace Prize in December. However, she missed the ceremony, and her daughter accepted the award. Her current whereabouts are unknown.
Trump hinted that he might meet with Venezuela's acting president, Delcy Rodriguez, at some point.
“I will meet at some point,“ he told reporters.
The president said the United States was in contact with Cuban authorities about a possible “deal“ following Washington's military operation in Venezuela.
“You'll find out soon enough. We're talking to Cuba. You'll find out soon enough,“ the US leader said.
