Rep. María Elvira Salazar Warns Maduro: U.S. Will Attack If Kidnapped María Corina Machado Is Harmed
Jan 9, 2025, 08:31 PM
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!" The congresswoman's remarks come amid heightened tensions surrounding Machado's safety, as she had recently emerged from hiding before the alleged kidnapping incident. Salazar's comments reflect ongoing U.S. concerns regarding the treatment of political opponents in Venezuela.
