Conversation: Machado reappears in Oslo, calls Trump's actions 'decisive' NHK

A: Hey there! Guess what? Maria Corina Machado, the Venezuelan opposition leader, was spotted in Oslo after being hidden for a year!

B: Really? I didn't know that. What happened?

A: She won this year's Nobel Peace Prize but couldn't attend the ceremony. At a news conference yesterday, she thanked those who helped her and said Trump's actions are crucial for change in Venezuela.

B: Wow, that sounds important! What else did she say?

A: She also asked democratic nations to cut resources from illegal activities in Venezuela and urged them to support democracy instead. The details of her escape are a bit unclear, but it seems the Trump administration may have helped.

B: That's quite interesting. I wonder what Nicolas Maduro will say about this.

A: Well, his administration warned that Machado would be considered a fugitive if she left the country, but Trump said he wouldn't be happy if she got arrested.

B: So, will she go back to Venezuela at some point?

A: She said she'll return when she finishes her tasks and if the conditions are right. But for now, she's focusing on what she came to do outside of Venezuela. Isn't that fascinating?
