00:00Venezuelan opposition leader and Nobel Peace Prize winner Maria Corina Machado has returned
00:05to her home country after nearly a year in exile and several failed attempts at going
00:09back.
00:11Machado had covertly left Venezuela in December last year to receive her Nobel Peace Prize.
00:17Weeks later, U.S. forces seized longtime leader Nicolás Maduro and took him to New York to
00:22face criminal charges.
00:24The U.S. has since backed Maduro's deputy, Delce Rodriguez, as interim president, striking
00:30a massive oil deal between the two countries.
00:33Speaking after Machado's return was announced, Trump appeared to be taken by surprise and
00:38refused to back the opposition leader.
00:41I don't know anything about her, but I think she's a very nice woman.
00:44She gave me her Nobel Prize, so how can I say anything else?
00:55U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio later appeared to contradict Trump, claiming that her return
01:01was facilitated by U.S.-backed transition talks.
01:05Machado has called on Venezuelans to take to the streets and has demanded a date for presidential
01:10elections.
01:11Her return raises questions about what role she will play in talks over Venezuela's future,
01:16the leader who have moved forward without her direct involvement.
