María Corina Machado sparked tensions among senior US officials after attempting to secure assistance to return to Venezuela following the devastating earthquakes that struck the country. According to a White House official, this initiative caused frustration in Washington.
According to this official, speaking on condition of anonymity, the Venezuelan opposition leader has contacted several interlocutors within the US administration in recent days. Her efforts have specifically targeted officials at the White House, the State Department, and several members of Congress.
She reportedly requested support from US authorities to facilitate her return to Venezuela amid the humanitarian crisis triggered by recent earthquakes. These earthquakes have caused significant damage and are currently prompting international relief efforts.
According to the same source, these repeated requests have been perceived as problematic by several American officials, who believe that the situation requires careful and structured coordination with local authorities and international actors involved on the ground.
No further official statements have been issued by the White House or by María Corina Machado regarding these discussions. The humanitarian situation in Venezuela, however, remains a central focus of diplomatic attention, as relief operations continue in the hardest-hit areas.
