Venezuelan opposition leader and long-time critic of the Maduro government, María Corina Machado, has been trying to combine earthquake relief with a return to politics, expressing willingness to return to Venezuela to help disaster victims. However, Venezuelan airspace, airline risks, border crossings, and U.S. stance have become obstacles. The current U.S. inclination is more towards maintaining post-disaster relief order under Delcy Rodríguez's interim government rather than allowing Machado to return dramatically, reigniting a legitimacy crisis.

Recent news indicates that Machado's return plan has been practically thwarted. Reuters reported on June 29 that Machado was in Panama at the time and accused the Venezuelan government of closing airspace, preventing her return; although she expressed willingness to do "whatever is necessary" to enter Venezuela, regular air routes have been evidently blocked. Axios reported on July 1 that senior Trump administration officials are displeased with Machado's post-earthquake attempt to return, with some officials criticizing it as "absurd political opportunism" and expressing concerns that her entry would disrupt U.S.-supported relief efforts.

El País reported on July 3 that a U.S. State Department spokesperson stated Machado's current attempt to return to Venezuela is "counterproductive"; The Wall Street Journal on the same day reported that her initial plan to enter Venezuela via Curaçao was thwarted midway under U.S. pressure.
