Maria Corina Machado said it was a “historic day for us Venezuelans” as she handed President Trump her Nobel Peace Prize. For the pro-Israel, far-right opposition figure in Venezuela, being welcomed to the White House may have been a historic day. But for those of us interested in peace and justice, the only history the United States is making by keeping the sitting President of Venezuela locked up in New York is of colonialist bullying and imperialist violence.
