Members of the U.S. House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee have declared their support for Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado as the country's new leader.
Operative Information Center-OMM reports that this information was published by The New York Times (NYT).
Congressman Mike Lawler emphasized that Machado possesses the potential to lead Venezuela into a new stage of development.
"She is the leader who must take Venezuela to a new level. A democratic transition and elections must take place in the country within a short period of time," the congressman stated.
According to reports, following a closed-door meeting at the Capitol, Congressman Michael McCaul also confirmed that Machado possesses all the necessary qualities to lead the nation. Currently, political competition in Venezuela has entered a new phase. Maria Corina Machado and Delcy Rodriguez are competing to gain the favor of US President Donald Trump. Both politicians are attempting to convince US President Donald Trump that they are the most suitable candidates to govern Venezuela during the transition period.
The political situation in Venezuela remains a focal point of international diplomacy, particularly for the United States, which has long advocated for democratic reforms in the South American nation. The recognition of opposition figures by the U.S. Congress often signals a shift in foreign policy priorities and potential increases in diplomatic pressure on the current administration in Caracas. As US President Donald Trump shapes his administration's foreign policy for 2025, the leadership crisis in Venezuela is expected to be a priority on the Washington agenda, impacting regional stability and global energy markets.
