Maria Corina Machado Gifts Trump Her Nobel Peace Prize

Maria Corina Machado gifted President Donald Trump the Nobel Peace Prize medal she received in 2025 during a White House meeting, calling it a personal thank you for his support of Venezuela’s push for freedom, and Trump accepted it, saying he would keep it. The gesture followed months of Trump and his allies publicly arguing he deserved Nobel recognition, though Nobel officials later clarified that while a medal can be given away, the Nobel Peace Prize itself cannot be transferred.
