Venezuela opposition leader María Corina Machado will address oil and gas executives Tuesday, as the industry hesitates to invest in the South American nation after the U.S. ousted former President Nicolás Maduro.
Machado, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, was blocked in 2024 from running for president in Venezuela by the Maduro regime. She previously served in the National Assembly. Machado leads the opposition movement that seeks a transition to democracy and a market economy in Venezuela.
She will deliver remarks at S&P Global’s CERAWeek conference in Houston, Texas. The gathering draws oil and gas executives and senior government officials from around the world.
The U.S. captured Maduro in a military raid in January, but has left the rest of the regime in place. The Trump administration has praised its cooperation with interim President Delcy Rodríguez, who served as vice president under Maduro. The White House has not set a timeline for elections.
