The meeting took place behind closed doors and the White House has not released any footage. Machado said the talks with Trump were &#8216;great&#8217;. But the White House said the meeting had not changed the US President&#8217;s earlier assessment that she lacks the respect needed to lead Venezuela. Machado&#8217;s party is widely considered to have won the disputed 20-24 elections rejected by former President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro, who the US captured in a raid on January third. Machado says her coalition should now lead Venezuela, but Trump has already endorsed interim President Delcy Rodr\u00edguez, who had served as Maduro\u2019s deputy since 2018. We spoke to DW&#8217;s Oskar Schlenker, and Venezuelan Journalist Noris Soto.<\/p>\n<p>#venezuela #machado #nobelpeaceprize <\/p>\n<p>For more news go to: http:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/<\/p>\n<p>Follow DW on social media:<br \/>\n\u25baInstagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/dwnews<br \/>\n\u25baTikTok: https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@dwnews<br \/>\n\u25baFacebook: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/deutschewellenews\/<br \/>\n\u25baTwitter: https:\/\/twitter.com\/dwnews<\/p>\n<p>F\u00fcr Videos in deutscher Sprache besuchen Sie: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/dwdeutsch<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/deutschewelleenglish?sub_confirmation=1<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Venezuela&#8217;s opposition leader Mar\u00eda Corina Machado says she presented her Nobel Peace Prize Medal to Donald Trump at a meeting in the White House.
