- President Trump is prioritizing stability in Venezuela by working with interim President Delcy Rodriguez, drawing parallels to the instability that followed the Iraq War.

A: Did you hear about the news? It's a bit crazy!

B: No, what happened? Tell me!

A: Okay, so President Trump was talking about Venezuela.

B: Venezuela? What's going on there?

A: Well, he’s choosing to work with this woman, Delcy Rodriguez. She used to be vice president under Maduro. Remember, Maduro got captured and taken to the US?

B: Oh yeah, I remember that! So why not support the other woman, Maria Corina Machado? The article says she has the Venezuelan people's support.

A: That's the thing! Trump said he’s worried about things getting chaotic, like what happened in Iraq.

B: Iraq? What does Iraq have to do with Venezuela?

A: He was saying how when Saddam Hussein was removed, they fired everyone - police, generals - and then ISIS popped up. He doesn't want that to happen in Venezuela!

B: Wow, that's a scary comparison.

A: Right? But then he also praised Machado! He met her and said she’s a "very fine woman."

B: Really? So he likes both of them?

A: Kind of! And get this – she gave him a Nobel Peace Prize medal!

B: No way! Seriously?

A: Yep! He said she told him he’s ended eight wars and nobody deserves it more! He's going to talk to her again, too.

B: That’s… a lot! He's quite the character, huh?
