Susana Tadei came to Miami from Venezuela and is now an American citizen.

She has been watching events and says the political status quo in Venezuela has not changed with the extraction and jailing of Maduro, while Maduro's allies and ministers remain still in power.

Tadej believes Trump will probably lose interest in Venezuela before any substantial changes are made in the country or its political structure.

In South Florida, home to the largest community of Venezuelan expats, a street in Doral was renamed in honor of Machado, but she has yet to visit.

The embattled Venezuelan community is hopeful that the awarding of the Nobel Prize to Maria Corina Machado will spark a change on the ground in Venezuela.

Jose Corina was jailed in his country and is the president of Vepex, politically persecuted Venezuelans in exile.

He was surprised by the decision of the Nobel Academy, but is guarded.

It's possible that the world's attention on Venezuela's situation will finally bring about change, he said.

Machado is only the sixth Latin American to be awarded the Peace Prize since its inception in 1901.
