The White House on Thursday said President Trump made a "realistic assessment" of popular support for Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado and gave no updated timetable for when elections might be held in the South American country.

Machado was at the White House for lunch with Trump on Thursday as she seeks to ensure she has a role in governing her country going forward.
