Machado said that the situation was complex as allies of Nicolás Maduro continued to do "dirty work" after his capture by the U.S. on Jan. 3. However, the opposition leader said that she is "profoundly confident" that there will be an orderly transition of power.
"This is a complex place we are right now. Some of the dirty work is being done by them, but then the result of a stable transition will be a proud Venezuela, who is going to be the best ally the United States has ever had in the Americas," she said.
