So Trump doesn't want Machado as President of Venezuela.

Because she won the Novel Peace prize. According to multiple outlets. Donny is normally loyal to fellow corrupt right-wingers but petty jealousy always comes first.

It sounds so typically him but I think it's wide of the mark. Apparently the administration had already become disillusioned with her when she skipped an in person meeting in Caracas and had failed to convince them subsequently how her party could successfully assume the reins. Her support for sanctions had also pissed a lot of business people off in Venezuela. (The same people who will have the biggest megaphone when talking to Trump.)

Machado told BBC Mundo that during a congratulatory phone call with Trump she told him "how grateful the Venezuelan people are for what he's doing, not only in the Americas, but around the world for peace, for freedom, for democracy".

But she stopped short of saying that he should have won it, instead of her, for ending 7 wars.

@Northwest yes, those seven ways he ended. Can he even name them ?

She hasn't said that she wants to be the president she is called for the rightful winner of the last election to be appointed as president and that is.
