Donald Trump Nobel Prize Maria Corina Machado: During the Venezuelan crisis, the country's opposition leader and Nobel laureate Maria Corina Machado and US President Donald Trump finally met. There has been a lot of talk about this visit after the repression in Venezuela. After this meeting, Machado made an important claim. He said he gifted Trump his Nobel Peace Prize medal. But they are yet to clarify whether they actually accepted it or not.
Maria Machado arrived at the White House on Thursday for a lunch meeting. Earlier this month, the United States arrested former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. Since then, there has been an intense debate over the political future of Venezuela. The meeting took place at the same time. After more than an hour-long debate, Machado was greeted by a crowd of supporters as he left the White House. He told supporters, "We can trust President Trump." Attendees then chanted "Thank you, Trump" and then left for other meetings in Washington.
When asked if he had accepted the medal given to him by Donald Trump, Machado refused to answer. The move follows his previous public comments about awarding the award to Trump and speculation that has been going on for weeks. However, the institution that awarded the Nobel Peace Prize has already clarified that according to the rules, the prize cannot be transferred or shared.
