Rep. María Elvira Salazar (R-FL) issued a stern warning to Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, stating that the United States would retaliate if opposition leader María Corina Machado were attacked. This statement follows reports that Machado was kidnapped by the Maduro regime, with one of her bodyguards reportedly injured. Salazar emphasized the seriousness of the warning, asserting, "If you attack María Corina, we in the United States are going to attack you!"
