Opposition leaders María Corina Machado and Edmundo González Urrutia expressed their support for the strategy of the President of the United States, Donald Trump, regarding Venezuela.
Both confirmed having had conversations with Richard Grenell, Trump's special envoy, during his recent visit to Caracas, where he met with the dictator Nicolás Maduro.
Machado wrote on X: “The fate of Venezuela depends on the Venezuelans. On ALL of them. Of course, we need international support. We will achieve it. The day of reunification in a FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS Venezuela will come. This is UNTIL THE END.”
In the video, Machado emphasized that she was aware of Grenell's visit before it took place and that she was informed about the outcomes of the meeting.
He emphasized that those responsible for the "Venezuela case" in the Trump administration, including the president himself, have a clear understanding of the situation and stressed that there are no ongoing negotiations with Maduro.
For his part, González Urrutia stated that he had conversations with Grenell before and after his meeting with Maduro.
He acknowledged that, although not all negotiations are conducted publicly, they have been in dialogue with representatives of the Trump administration since before it took office.
These interactions reflect the confidence of Venezuelan opposition leaders in the Trump administration's strategy to address the crisis in Venezuela and their willingness to collaborate in the pursuit of a solution that promotes democracy in the country.
Trump revokes Temporary Protected Status for over 300,000 Venezuelans in the United States
It is worth noting that the administration of President Donald Trump has revoked the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for over 300,000 Venezuelans residing in the United States under this immigration protection, according to the newspaper New York Times.
This decision leaves hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans vulnerable to deportation in the coming months, as TPS is a federal program that offers temporary refuge to individuals fleeing natural disasters or armed conflicts, allowing them to live and work legally in the United States for a specified period. However, it does not provide a pathway to citizenship.
