Machado makes failed attempts to return as Rodriguez meets Trump
Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado made three attempts to return home from Panama but did not complete the journey, according to a person with direct knowledge of her plans. The efforts coincided with acting President Delcy Rodriguez’s visit to New York and meeting with US President Donald Trump.
Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado tried three times in a 24-hour period to return to Venezuela but was unable to complete the journey, according to the South China Morning Post. A person with direct knowledge of her plans said Machado sought to travel from Panama by different routes. The attempts included plans to travel by boat and to fly to Venezuela, although the supplied account ends before providing further details about the proposed routes.
The efforts took place as acting President Delcy Rodriguez visited New York for the United Nations General Assembly. During the visit, Rodriguez met US President Donald Trump. The source material does not explain why Machado could not complete the journey, whether she reached Venezuela later, or what was discussed during the Rodriguez-Trump meeting.
It also does not provide a public response from Machado, Rodriguez or the US administration. The episode places Machado’s attempted return alongside a diplomatic meeting involving Venezuela’s acting president and the US president.
