Congratulations to María Corina Machado on receiving the Nobel Peace Prize. Her courageous fight for democracy in Venezuela is a reminder that socialism doesn’t lift people up, it holds them down. We continue to stand with the Venezuelan people in their pursuit of freedom, democracy, & opportunity.
