Trump meets Venezuelan opposition leader Machado as U.S. seizes oil tanker

President Donald Trump met with Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado at the White House amid tensions with Iran. Machado, seeking leadership in Venezuela after Nicolas Maduro's arrest, faces skepticism from Trump but support from Florida Republicans. Concurrently, the U.S. seized another Venezuelan oil tanker, and international tensions rise with Iran as Trump threatens intervention following Iran's halted execution plans. Machado, a Nobel Peace Prize recipient, suggested sharing the prize with Trump, though the Nobel Institute stated this is not possible.
