Venezuelan opposition leader, María Corina Machado, maintained that she remains in contact with the government of President Donald Trump to achieve freedom for Venezuela. She assured, in an interview with VOZ, that the situation in Venezuela is a priority for the Republican Administration and pointed out that the freedom of the Caribbean country will be of benefit to U.S. national security.
Machado highlighted that Venezuela's struggle is for the security and stability of the West. She stressed that the permanence of Nicolás Maduro in power is a threat to the democracies of the world and mainly to the United States.
She recalled that the Venezuelan dictatorship is allied with enemies of the West such as Hezbollah. In addition, she has no doubt that "Maduro's criminal structure has as a priority damaging the democratic institutions of the United States."
"Venezuela's freedom is America's security," she added.
In that sense, the opposition leader pointed out that with the freedom of Venezuela will also come the freedom of Cuba and Nicaragua. For her, for the first time in history, we will soon have an American continent free of dictatorships: a free Americas.
She mentioned that despite the fact that in Venezuela human rights continue to be violated and the dictatorship advances in what the Organization of American States qualifies as "State terrorism," Venezuelans will continue to fight to conquer their freedom.

US-led Operation Guacamayas
Machado also referred to 'Operation Guacamayas,' which secured the rescue of five asylum seekers—members of her team—at the Argentine Embassy in Caracas. She described it as an epic operation led by the U.S. government.
She thanked President Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the special envoy for Venezuela, Mauricio Claver-Carone, for their efforts to make the operation successful.
"Operation Guacamayas was executed to perfection and was a monumental blow to the regime of Nicolás Maduro," Machado said.
