Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado has returned to the country after more than ten months in exile. Machado posted on X on Sunday, stating, "I am here, with you." Her ally, former presidential candidate Edmundo González Urrutia, subsequently confirmed the news. In January, a month after Machado left Venezuela for Norway to accept the Nobel Peace Prize, the United States seized her opponent, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. The Trump administration then backed his deputy, Delcy Rodríguez, to serve as leader; she was sworn in as interim president and signed an oil deal with the United States.
