Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado will meet with U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday. The White House confirmed the meeting.
Machado recently won the Nobel Peace Prize for her work on democracy. She has publicly offered to share the award with President Trump. Her goal is to highlight his administration's support for Venezuela's opposition.
The meeting agenda is not public. Political experts suggest Machado will ask for stronger U.S. actions against the Venezuelan government. This could include increased economic sanctions.
The Venezuelan opposition seeks to remove current President Nicolás Maduro. They call his government a dictatorship. The United States and many other nations support this view.
The White House stated the leaders will discuss a "peaceful restoration of democracy" in Venezuela.
