On June 28, 2026, Venezuela continues to deal with the aftermath of devastating earthquakes that struck La Guaira on June 25, resulting in over 1,400 deaths and more than 50,000 people missing. The coastal area suffered severe damage, prompting the government to declare a state of emergency, including military intervention and restricting access to the region. Protests have erupted due to perceived governmental inaction and lack of rescue equipment. International aid has been received from 24 countries, including 521 tons of supplies, 86 canine search teams, and over 2,741 personnel involved in search and rescue operations. The Vatican’s Pope León XIV expressed solidarity with Venezuelans affected by the disaster and thanked the rescuers working to assist those impacted.

The article reports that U.S. officials, including President Donald Trump, blocked Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado’s return to Venezuela after initially approving her trip. According to The Wall Street Journal, Trump did not oppose her return but wanted to avoid last-minute complications. Diplomatic sources suggest that Trump directly spoke with interim President Delcy Rodríguez, which led to the rejection of Machado’s visit. Machado attempted to convince U.S. authorities to approve her return, but faced obstacles from airlines concerned about potential retaliation from the Venezuelan government. From Panama, Machado accused the regime of blocking her return, linking it to efforts to prevent international rescue teams from entering the country amid a devastating earthquake. U.S. officials criticized Machado’s attempts as politically motivated, calling them 'opportunism' and suggesting they could worsen tensions during humanitarian aid efforts.

Opposition figures based in Florida have called on the United States to ensure that the reconstruction efforts in Venezuela after recent earthquakes are led by individuals other than current leaders Delcy Rodríguez, Jorge Rodríguez, and Diosdado Cabello. The exiled Venezuelans accuse the government of corruption and inefficiency, claiming that these leaders failed to save lives during the disaster which killed over 2,200 people and injured more than 11,000. José Antonio Colina, representing the Veppex organization, criticized the military for being absent during the initial response and later obstructing rescue operations. Civil society groups and journalists express concerns about the distribution of humanitarian aid and the lack of transparency in identifying victims. The opposition advocates for a reconstruction process managed by 'the best Venezuelans' rather than the current leadership, emphasizing the need to avoid rewarding corruption and inefficiency.
