The operation drew predictable backlash from Democrats and the media, who criticized Trump for acting without prior congressional authorization and questioned the risks of regime change. Critics also pointed to Trump\u2019s December pardon of former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hern\u00e1ndez, despite Maduro\u2019s well-documented record of brutal repression, narco-trafficking ties, and his illegal seizure of a third term in July 2024 after opposition candidate Edmundo Gonz\u00e1lez won the election by a wide margin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Machado herself had been barred from the ballot by Maduro\u2019s regime, despite winning the opposition\u2019s independently run presidential primary with more than 92 percent of the vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The day after Maduro\u2019s capture, Trump publicly cast doubt on Machado\u2019s viability as an interim leader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cIt would be very tough for her to be the leader,\u201d Trump said, claiming she \u201cdoesn\u2019t have the support or the respect within the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/national-security\/2026\/01\/04\/us-venezuela-plan-trump-rubio-miller\/\">The Washington Post<\/a>, Trump\u2019s rejection stunned members of the Venezuelan opposition. Two sources close to the White House told the paper that Machado\u2019s decision to accept the Nobel Peace Prize last year \u2014 rather than explicitly refusing it in Trump\u2019s name \u2014 was viewed as an \u201cultimate sin\u201d by a president who has long believed he deserved the honor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cIf she had turned it down and said, \u2018I can\u2019t accept it because it\u2019s Donald Trump\u2019s,\u2019 she\u2019d be the president of Venezuela today,\u201d one source said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump has repeatedly argued over the years that his historic diplomatic efforts \u2014 including the Abraham Accords, North Korea negotiations, and Middle East ceasefires \u2014 merited a Nobel Peace Prize, particularly after former President Barack Obama received the award early in his presidency. Trump has frequently mocked the Nobel Committee for what he views as partisan double standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On <em>Hannity<\/em>, the Fox News host opened the interview by laying out Machado\u2019s record and the stakes ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cFollowing the capture of Maduro over the weekend, the end of his horrific regime, the question remains, who will succeed the brutal dictator and bring much-needed change and freedom to the country?\u201d Hannity said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>He noted that Machado had dedicated her Nobel Prize \u201cto the suffering people of Venezuela and to President Trump for his decisive support of our cause,\u201d and had repeatedly praised Trump publicly for his leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Machado thanked Hannity and Fox News for their \u201cincredible support\u2026 throughout all this long journey for the cause of democracy for our people in Venezuela,\u201d before recounting how the opposition organized behind Gonz\u00e1lez after she was banned from running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe defeated Maduro by a landslide \u2014 it was incredible, under extreme conditions, unfair conditions,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hannity then asked directly about the Nobel Prize dedication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not very usual,\u201d Hannity said, \u201cthat people will dedicate the Nobel Peace Prize to the leader of a different country and say publicly, he deserves this more than I do. But you did that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLet me be very clear,\u201d Machado replied. \u201cAs soon as I learned that we had been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, I dedicated it to Trump because I knew at that point, he deserved it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>She praised Trump\u2019s decisive military action, saying many believed it was \u201cimpossible to achieve what he has just done on Saturday, January 3rd.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cJanuary 3rd will go down in history as the day justice defeated tyranny,\u201d Machado said, calling the operation a \u201cmilestone\u201d for Venezuela, \u201chumanity, freedom, and human dignity.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Asked whether she had spoken directly to Trump, Machado said the two last spoke on October 10, the day the Nobel prizes were announced. She emphasized her gratitude for Trump\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cHe has taken historical actions against these narco-terrorists, to start dismantling the structure and bringing Maduro to justice,\u201d she said. \u201cThat means that 30 million Venezuelans are now closer to freedom \u2014 but also the United States of America is a safer country nowadays.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Hannity also addressed reports that Machado had offered to give Trump the Nobel Prize outright.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cWell, it hasn\u2019t happened yet,\u201d Machado said. \u201cBut I would certainly love to be able to personally tell him that we believe \u2014 the Venezuelan people, because this is a prize of the Venezuelan people \u2014 certainly want to give it to him and share it with him.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Watch:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"embed-twitter\"><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">BREAKING \ud83d\udea8 Venezuelan Maria Corina Machado just stunned the WORLD by saying on behalf of the Venezuelan people she WANTS TO GIVE her Nobel Peace Prize to President Donald Trump<br><br>Venezuelan people are CELEBRATING <br><br>I TRUST TRUMP 100% <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/tC81jBHpek\">pic.twitter.com\/tC81jBHpek<\/a><\/p>&mdash; MAGA Voice (@MAGAVoice) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MAGAVoice\/status\/2008373206286021041?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 6, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, the Washington Post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/national-security\/2026\/01\/04\/us-venezuela-plan-trump-rubio-miller\/\">reports<\/a> that the U.S. is now working with Delcy Rodr\u00edguez, Maduro\u2019s former vice president and interim leader, who controversially claimed the operation to capture Maduro had a \u201cZionist tint.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"embed-twitter\"><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"es\" dir=\"ltr\">Mar\u00eda Corina Machado dice <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/seanhannity?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@seanhannity<\/a>: &quot;Delcy Rodr\u00edguez es una de las arquirectas de la tortura, corrupci\u00f3n, narcotr\u00e1fico, es aliada de China, Rusia, Ir\u00e1n.
