Machado's gratitude towards the U.S. administration, specifically mentioning President Trump's commitment to combating regional dictatorships, highlights a crucial aspect of the ongoing struggle. From a Venezuelan perspective, international support, particularly from the United States, has been vital in challenging the entrenched authoritarian regimes that have stifled progress and prosperity for decades. Her words underscore the shared fight against "Castro-communist tyranny" that affects not only Venezuela and Cuba but also the broader aspirations for democratic governance across the hemisphere.

Her message, amplified on social media, directly addresses the Cuban people, acknowledging their pain and sharing their hope. This solidarity is particularly poignant, given the historical ties and shared challenges between the two nations. Machado's stance, echoing sentiments from U.S. officials like Marco Rubio, emphasizes that the path to freedom involves dismantling the corrupt military-economic structures that enrich elites while the populace suffers. This narrative, focusing on popular sovereignty and the fight against oppression, is a powerful counterpoint to the propaganda often disseminated by the regimes themselves. It is a message of hope and resilience, signaling that the fight for liberty is far from over.

Our thanks to the United States Government for its commitment to the fight against dictatorships in the region.
