‘She has no support or respect’: Trump trashes Venezuelan Nobel winner’s claim to power

The US president has claimed that Maria Corina Machado is a “very nice woman” who is unfit for office

President Donald Trump has dismissed Venezuelan opposition figure Maria Corina Machado as a potential national leader, despite the Nobel laureate’s vocal support of the US military operation against her own country.

Early on Saturday, US forces carried out air strikes on the oil-rich country and captured its president, Nicolas Maduro, along with his wife.
