No peace without war? Nobel peace prize awardee backs Trump’s strikes on Venezuela

Venezuelan opposition leader and Nobel Peace Prize winner Maria Corina Machado has defended Donald Trump’s deadly “narco-boat” strikes in the Caribbean, calling them “about saving lives.” Speaking to Bloomberg, Machado blamed every death on President Nicolas Maduro and urged global action to “cut off drug-fueled power.” Her remarks come as Trump faces GOP backlash over the legality of the strikes, which have killed 64 people. Caracas hit back, accusing Machado of fronting Washington’s coup agenda — as Russia and China vow to defend Venezuela.
