US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is slated to meet with Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado on Wednesday afternoon, according to his public schedule.
Their meeting at the State Department comes after a larger meeting with President Donald Trump less than two weeks ago and as the US administration continues to work with the Venezuelan interim government that previously served Nicolas Maduro.
Their meeting also comes after Rubio testifies publicly for the first time since the military operation that deposed the Venezuelan leader.
Rubio has known Machado for years and spoken highly of her – he even nominated her for the Nobel Peace Prize while he was a senator. However, the top US diplomat has recently shied away from publicly endorsing her as Venezuela’s future leader
