The Venezuelan opposition leader delivers a fiery message at the America Business Forum in Miami, pledging solidarity with Cuban and Nicaraguan freedom movements.
Speaking from the stage of the America Business Forum in Miami, Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado delivered one of the event’s most forceful statements yet, declaring that “Maduro began this war — and Trump will end it.”
Machado’s remarks drew loud applause from the audience as she reaffirmed her commitment to democratic change in Venezuela and expressed solidarity with the struggles for freedom in Cuba and Nicaragua. Her message underscored a broader call for unity among Latin American opposition movements confronting authoritarian regimes.
The appearance came as part of a forum focused on business and political leadership in the Western Hemisphere. Machado emphasized that regional economic stability cannot exist without political freedom, urging international pressure on what she called the “criminal networks” sustaining dictatorships across Latin America.
Her presence at the Miami event — alongside key political and economic figures — signals an effort to reposition Venezuela’s opposition on the global stage and reinforce ties with U.S. policymakers and the Latin American diaspora.
