Not right away. The US will run the country. Meanwhile a purge will take place in the military and law enforcement and judiciary to remove and replace Muduro’s people (and Cubans). She would have less than zero control until that happens.
I had envisioned the U.S. or special U.S. contractor in conjunction with the U.S. government running Venezuela for a while to put their train back on the track properly. I hope the Trump Team has a comprehensive food plan. The people are hungry. Feed them and you lock in their support. Even though Trump didn’t directly say it, he was not just talking about oil. He was also talking about gold. Some of that gold will go to our stockpile.
This would be the likely solution, but correct me if I am wrong but I think I distinctly heard Trump mention in his press conference that he had not been in contact with Machado and also said she is not in a position to take over since she doesn't have the support.
Mmm, what?
I remember when the latest "election" was held and Machado definitely had the support of the bulk of the anti-Maduro citizenry.
If she does not take over straight away and has to stand for election she does not look like a puppet and will not be held to account for what might be a messy transition period. USA will take the heat and then stablise and hand over.
Ideal really can you imagine the left looting the joint?

Didn't Trump just say this was not going to happen in his newsconference???
Yep
Isn't she the cia's chosen replacement? How is this a good thing? This makes zero sense.
I have also "heard" Machado is not favorable among the people either.
If free and fair elections are held, the winner will shake out by the people.
They were playing two sides against the middle. Watch and see where it all lands.
None of this makes sense to me.
I don’t think Trump is too keen on her for some reason.
Well, Obama also won the Nobel Peace Prize so….
Yeah, red flag when uo as soon as she was described as a "Nobel peace prize winner".
Trump seems to like her, but doesn't seem to have confidence that she will be able to consolidate enough backing to take charge.

We're going to do it right like Germany and Japan post WW2. Not all the corrupt bullshit that's gone on during and after the cold war.
Finally, a forever war we can win! No one was ever against all forever wars. We were against the ones where we get beaten.
Wow. That’s pretty huge.

Trump said we are going to run it. Wont be long and we will run california, illinois, new york. For many of the same reasons.
Whatever works. And it's about time. When Calif is out from under commie liberal control, Oregon and Wa will soon follow.
Isn't she associated with the WEF and also a socialist? Sounds like a no.
She may be a figurehead after they get things nailed down
Careful there, you Venezuelans..... don't put the CIA's favorite choice in office
