Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado celebrated President Donald Trump for making the decision to capture Nicolás Maduro, in an appearance on Fox News’ “Hannity” on Monday.

“January 3rd will go down in history as the day justice defeated tyranny,” Machado told host Sean Hannity. “It’s a milestone, and it’s not only huge for the Venezuelan people and our future, I think it’s a huge step for humanity, for freedom, and human dignity,” she said.
