Machado thanked Trump for holding Maduro and announced his intention to return as soon as possible

Venezuela 's opposition leader, Maria Corina Machado, has thanked US President Donald Trump for carrying out "courageous actions" that allowed the capture of Nicolas Maduro. "Venezuela will be an ally of the United States," she added.
Machado has offered his first interview since the U.S. attack on Venezuela last night on American television station Fox News. Machado has said he has not spoken to Trump since the U.S. arrest of Maduro.
Machado recalled during the interview, among other things, that he offered the US president the Nobel Peace Prize he received last year and that he had to leave Venezuela secretly to go to Oslo, but that he arrived too late for the award ceremony.
The opposition leader has explained that he wants to return to Venezuela as soon as possible.
On the other hand, Machado has stressed that the opposition he leads would turn Venezuela into an American energy hub, restore the rule of law to ensure the security of foreign investment and facilitate the return of Venezuelans who fled the country during Maduro's term.
Moreover, he has predicted that the opposition would get "more than 90% of the votes" in free and fair elections.
Trump, however, has refused to hand over the Venezuelan government to Machadoon the grounds that he has no support from the country.
