The Nobel Peace Prize winner hailed Trump as a “visionary” just days before she won the prestigious award in Norway on Friday.

María Corina Machado, a conservative politician in Venezuela, was given the award for her work in “promoting democratic rights,” according to the Nobel committee.

Since Trump’s reelection, Machado has been an outspoken supporter of the U.S. president, describing him as the “biggest opportunity we’ve ever had” for regime change in Venezuela.

Tensions between Venezuela and America soared following the attack, but Machado insisted to The Sunday Times that Trump was right to bomb the boat. “I totally support his strategy,” Machado said. “And I’ve said on behalf of the Venezuelan people that we are very grateful. I think it is the right thing to do. It’s courageous. It’s visionary.”
