Venezuela's political scene is buzzing with changes. The CIA's top boss recently sat down with Venezuela's acting leader, Delcy Rodriguez. This meeting happened after a big U. S. move earlier this year.
Meanwhile, Maria Corina Machado, a key figure in Venezuela's opposition, had a chat with President Trump. She even gave him her Nobel Peace Prize medal. Trump loved it, calling it a "wonderful gesture. "
Rodriguez, in her big speech, had some strong words. She said if she ever goes to Washington, she'll stand tall, not bow down. This shows the tension between the two sides.
The CIA chief's visit was no small thing. It was a direct order from Trump. The goal? To smooth things over between the U. S. and Venezuela. They talked about teaming up on intelligence, fixing the economy, and stopping bad guys from using Venezuela as a hideout.
Machado is set to share more about her meeting with Trump soon. This is all part of a bigger picture. Venezuela and the U. S. are trying to find common ground.
