Venezuela's sidelined Machado arrives at White House for Trump talks - Jamaica Observer

Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado arrived at the White House in a white suit for a closed-door lunch with President Donald Trump, seeking to put a democratic transition back in focus. Trump, who has said she lacks support in Venezuela, recently praised his first call with interim president Delcy Rodriguez and stressed oil, minerals, trade and national security. As Machado offers to share her Nobel Prize despite transfer rules, the United States seized a sixth tanker and finalized a roughly $500 million US-brokered oil sale, while Venezuela released dozens of political prisoners under US pressure.
