The President's Daily Brief · PDB Situation Report | January 17th, 2026: If the U.S. Hits Iran: A Fighter Pilot Breaks It Down & Venezuela at a Crossroads · 17 Jan 2026 podcast

Well, I think, Mike, one of the first things that we need to consider when we're getting ourselves into the mind of Maria Corina Machado is how does she continue to become a relevant figure in this process that we're seeing that is happening in Venezuela when you have the Trump administration

negotiating directly with the interim president, interim leader of Venezuela, Delcy Rodriguez.

And we even saw this Wednesday some very, very lavish comments coming from President Trump talking about how Delcy Rodriguez was great and everything that she's doing is what the Americans are asking.

So how does Maria Corina Machado, the leader of the opposition...

Unfortunately, is now outside of Venezuela because she had to she escaped after being over a year in hiding in Venezuela to receive the Nobel Peace Prize in Norway.

Now she's outside of Venezuela.

And we've heard from Trump that according to him, she doesn't have the support of the

Venezuelan people and the Trump administration negotiating directly with Derecito Lidia.

So it's a tricky business, the one that she's in.

The meeting with the White House apparently went well.

She came outside of the White House and the first thing she told Venezuelans that were outside supporting her was that President Trump has Venezuela's back.

Of course, does that mean that

President Trump supports her political ambitions in the future.

That's a big question.

She also, after meeting at the White House, Mike, went on to meet with a group of senators on Capitol Hill, Democrats and Republicans.

And of course, they're also very concerned to see what the next steps are in Venezuela.

So I think the main question is, how does she remain positive?

a relevant figure, knowing that we're not going to see elections in Venezuela in a week, a month, two months, three months.

This is likely going to be at the very least eight months before we see elections in Venezuela.

And she is right now outside of Venezuela.
