Machado meets Trump amid Venezuelan leadership uncertainty

Season 2026 Episode 15 | 8m 45s

Maria Corina Machado met with President Trump and said she presented him with her Nobel Peace Prize. It came a day after Trump spoke with Venezuela’s acting president, a woman who in the past disparaged Machado but is now empowered by the U.S. to lead the country. Nick Schifrin examines Venezuela’s leadership, and Geoff Bennett discusses more with Laura Dib.
