Why
Opposition leader María Corina Machado returned to Venezuela and called for new elections at her first news conference.
Machado praised Trump for opening a 'floodgate to freedom' for Venezuela and urged elections in 2027.
Machado says the Venezuela oil deal hides its terms, after Trump touted it as a record deal.
