President Trump will meet with Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado on Thursday. Machado, who met with the Pope today, requested his mediation for those missing in her country. The meeting comes after the recent US attack on Venezuela that led to the arrest of President Nicolas Maduro. Machado has indicated she is willing to hand over the Nobel Peace Prize she was awarded to Trump, who said it would be a great honor. Machado praised Trump for overthrowing Maduro and promised to return to her homeland soon to contest the next elections.
