Venezuela's Nobel prize-winning opposition leader Maria Corina Machado is urging more pressure on strongman Nicolas Maduro to force him from power, according to an interview excerpt released Friday.

"I will welcome more and more pressure so that Maduro understands that he has to go, that his time is over," Machado told CBS News talkshow "Face the Nation" in response to a question about the possibility of US military intervention in her country.
