María Corina Machado urged her compatriots to maintain hope while vowing to fight for democracy after a senior Trump envoy cut a deal with President Nicolás Maduro to facilitate U.S. deportations.

Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado on Monday downplayed fears that President Donald Trump had reached an understanding of coexistence with strongman Nicolás Maduro following a deal reached last week in Caracas in which the socialist regime agreed to receive thousands of her countrymen deported from the United States.

Six Americans who had been detained in Venezuela are heading home to the US, President Donald Trump announced Friday, after his envoy met with the country’s President Nicolás Maduro.
