Machado Blocked From Return as Trump Officials Call Move Political Opportunism

The White House withdraws support for María Corina Machado's planned return to Venezuela and says her travel could jeopardize emergency aid coordination during rescue operations.Officials in the Trump administration say Machado lacks a valid Venezuelan passport, that entering without Caracas' authorization could lead to detention, and that advisers are split between mobilizing social aid and preserving channels with Delcy Rodríguez.Two earthquakes of magnitudes 7.2 and 7.5 have killed at least 2,295 people, injured more than 11,000, prompted NASA to estimate nearly 59,000 damaged buildings, and intensified calls from opposition groups in the US for Washington to change course.
