Venezuelan Nobel Peace Prize winner gives her medal to Donald Trump | BBC News


Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado has given her Nobel Peace Prize medal to US President Donald Trump during a meeting at the White House, saying it was a recognition of his commitment to her country’s freedom.

"I think today is a historic day for us Venezuelans," she said after meeting Trump in person for the first time, weeks after US forces seized Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in Caracas and charged him in a drug-trafficking case.

Trump said on social media that the move was "a wonderful gesture of mutual respect", but the Nobel committee has said the prize itself was not transferable.

The US president has declined to endorse Machado as Venezuela’s new leader, despite her movement claiming victory in 2024’s widely contested elections.
