Venezuelan opposition leader and Nobel Prize winner Maria Corina Machado said military escalation is the “only” way to remove authoritarian President Nicolas Maduro from power.

“The increase in pressure and the escalation that’s taken place is the only way to force Maduro to understand that it’s time to go,” and “facilitate a peaceful and orderly transition,” Machado told Bloomberg.

The comments come as the Trump administration has reportedly made the decision to strike military facilities inside Venezuela, with attacks potentially taking place at any time.
