In a video released on January 16, 2026, Machado credited Trump's pressure campaign for the liberation of Venezuela. While her supporters cheer the alliance, critics argue it politicizes a prize meant for humanitarian achievement. Meanwhile, Cuba has reportedly received the remains of its soldiers killed during the operation to capture Maduro, marking a somber moment for the Caribbean nation.
