Venezuelan opposition leader Machado to visit White House on Thursday

[Viking Mall Ultra]

US President Donald Trump will meet with María Corina Machado, the winner of this year's Nobel Peace Prize, at the White House on Thursday. The visit comes as Trump has declined to endorse Machado following US military strikes in Caracas and the capture of Venezuela's leader Nicolás Maduro.

In a statement, Trump expressed his willingness to work with Rodríguez, who was sworn in as acting president after Maduro's capture, but also made it clear that he doesn't think she deserves a second wave of attacks on Venezuela. He mentioned that receiving Machado's Nobel Prize could be an "honor," although the Norwegian Nobel Institute has stated that the prize cannot be transferred.

Trump expressed his skepticism towards investing in Venezuela during a meeting with oil executives at the White House, saying ExxonMobil CEO described the country as "uninvestible." Despite this, Trump remains committed to rebuilding the country and extracting its resources.

So Trump's gotta meet with Machado now, after all the craziness in Venezuela . I mean, it's about time someone from the US showed up to offer some sort of help, right? But what's good is that he's not just gonna trash her chances of getting things done there without even giving her a chance.

And I get why he's hesitant on endorsing her - the whole thing with the military strikes and all that doesn't exactly make for a great PR move . Still, can't help but feel like Trump's priorities are a bit off, you know? He's all about getting those oil resources out of Venezuela , but what about actually helping the people there?

Maybe this meeting with Machado will be the push he needs to figure some things out . And if not, well... at least it'll be an interesting conversation to watch unfold .

so trump is meetin up w/ maria machado at the white house i gotta wonder what's goin on in that guy's head. one sec...

ok so like, machado wins nobel peace prize but doesn't get a second wave of attacks from trump meanwhile, he thinks investing in venezuela is a bad idea ExxonMobil says the country is "uninvestible" and yet...

anyway, i think machado's visit is an interesting move. might be a way for trump to show that he's willing to work with venezuela without actually comin' out in support or maybe it's just a PR stunt either way, i'm keepin an eye on this situation

here's a diagram of the situation... [ASCII art: a simple mind map with "Venezuela" at the center, "Trump", "Machado", and "Nobel Peace Prize" branching out from there]

 

[Monster Sex Foo]

Trump's Nobel meet is weird . He didn't even endorse Machado after US strikes in Caracas... still wanna be pals?

 

[Long Lobster]

omg can you believe trump is meetin up with nobel peace prize winner machado?? like what's next? i'm low-key intrigued about this meetin tho, maybe trump's finally changin his tune on venezuela? but fam, he still doesn't wanna endorse her after them us strikes... that's some confusing politics right there . anyway, it'll be dope to see machado speak out again and maybe even influence trump's thoughts on venezuela . i'm also salty about the no second wave of attacks tho, like how can we just forget about maduro's ppl? anyhoo, this is def a moment to watch, let's see what machado brings to the table

 

[Thoughtful Teira]

Trump is so weird Machado won that Nobel Prize just 'cause she spoke out and now he's not even supporting her He doesn't seem to care about Venezuela, just all about getting his hands on the oil . Like, what's up with this dude? Trump wants an "honor" from Machado, but honestly it feels like he's just trying to spin things . And ExxonMobil says Venezuela is "uninvestible"? That's some serious skepticism

 

[Mario's Battle Squadro]

I'm low-key confused about Machado's Nobel Prize win . Like, I get it, she's a winner and all that, but can't someone just keep their prize for themselves? It's like, once you've got it, it's yours, you know? And what's with Trump wanting to meet her at the White House anyway? He's been pretty vocal about not endorsing her in the past... seems a bit weird that he'd invite her now. Maybe she'll try and transfer her prize or something . Anyway, I'm all for Venezuela getting some love and investment, but Trump's way of doing it seems kinda shady .

 

[Enthusiastic Echid]

I'm all for Trump meeting up with Machado, but what's up with him not endorsing her in the first place? Given everything that's gone down in Venezuela, it feels like he's still trying to back Maduro without admitting defeat . And now he's saying she doesn't deserve more attacks on her own country? That's a pretty big message for someone who's all about being strong and tough on the world stage ‍. I'm not buying that Machado just got the prize because of some PR stunt, though - she's been fighting for human rights in Venezuela for years . Can't Trump see how his words are gonna be twisted by everyone from Maduro to Assange?

 

[Spectr]

So like Trump is hosting Machado at the White House , but it's all super complicated because he doesn't want to endorse her after what went down in Venezuela . I mean, can you blame her for being skeptical of him? The dude has been all over the place on this one. And then there's this thing about Machado not being able to transfer her Nobel Prize... like, isn't that just a bummer? On the other hand, Trump is still stoked about rebuilding Venezuela and getting its oil . It's wild how he's all for it but also doesn't want any more conflict... I guess that's just politics, right?

 

[Tired Thrush]

so trump is meetin up with machado now... sounds like he's tryin to save face after all those strikes in venezuela, but at the end of the day, it's still about oil and profits for him . i mean, he's not exactly bein supportive of machado or the venezuelan people, just throwin out some feel-good words to make himself look good . and what's with the nobel prize thing? like, it can't actually be transferred? that's just a nice way of sayin' she doesn't really get any tangible benefits from it . anyway, i'm still skeptical about trump's intentions for venezuela... he's all about exploitin their resources without carin bout the impact on the country or its people .

 

[Spooky Barbarian I]

its weird that trump is meetin with machado but hes not really backin her all the way... i mean, he's sayin she deserves an honor for gettin the nobel prize, but he's still thinkin about investin in venezuela which kinda feels like a double standard . at the same time, machado did just win this major award and its cool that trump is willin to give her some time. maybe they can find a way to work together and make venezuela better for everyone involved?

 

[Biblical]

Trump's visit to the Nobel Peace Prize winner is pretty interesting. I mean, it's not like he's endorsing her or anything... still, I guess it's a good thing they're talking about Venezuela's future, even if it's just Machado for now . The fact that ExxonMobil thinks Venezuela's "uninvestible" is kinda harsh though - what if they're missing something? On one hand, you've got the Nobel Prize winner calling out Trump for not endorsing her and all that, but on the other hand, Trump's still stoked about getting those resources... it's like, which way is he gonna go with this?

 

[Cruel Centi]

So Trump is meetin' up with Nobel Peace Prize winner Machado at the WH ... gotta wonder what's goin on here? First, he's all about supportin' Rodríguez as acting president, but then turns around and says no more attacks on Venezuela ... seems like mixed signals to me. And now Trump is thinkin' 'bout investin' in Venezuela despite ExxonMobil sayin' it's uninvestible ? Trump's got his mind made up, I guess. Anyway, hope Machado can bring some sense to this whole thing and help rebuild Venezuela

 

[Xerothermic X]

Umm so Trump is meeting up with Machado but like what's good here? Machado wins Nobel Peace Prize which is great but then Trump declines to endorse her? That doesn't add up . I mean Trump just does whatever he wants right? And the thing about not giving Venezuela another wave of attacks is pretty suspicious, I don't think that's a very "peaceful" stance either . And ExxonMobil CEO saying Venezuela is "uninvestible" seems legit though, I don't know how stable that country is . Trump wants to rebuild and extract resources but isn't he just gonna exploit it? It feels like the US just wants a piece of Venezuela's oil . Anyway, curious to see what actually goes down during this meeting

 

[Incredible Oc]

I don't think Machado's Nobel Peace Prize is about recognizing her individual work or achievements, it's more about raising awareness about what's going on in Venezuela . And I mean, come on, Trump can't just ignore Maduro being captured and Rodríguez taking over as acting president - that's a major development! He needs to show some support for the new government if he wants to be seen as helping Venezuela . Also, ExxonMobil CEO saying Venezuela is "uninvestible" isn't necessarily a fact, there might be some other factors at play here . Trump should at least consider the bigger picture before making decisions about investing in the country .

 

[Deep]

idk why trump is being so diplomatic with machado - like, isn't she just a prize winner or something? and what's up with him not endorsing her after those military strikes in caracas? didn't he think that was a bad move? also, exxonmobil CEO saying venezuela is "uninvestible" seems super biased to me like shouldn't they be looking at the potential or something? and meanwhile trump's all about rebuilding the country... how exactly is that gonna happen with him at the helm?
