US EditionTrump Says Venezuelan Opposition Leader María Corina Machado Could Hand Him Her Nobel Peace Prize During Washington Meet
Maria Corina Machado plans to give President Trump her Nobel Peace Prize during their Washington meeting amid U.S. intervention in Venezuela, despite Nobel Institute rules against prize transfer.
- On January 8, 2026 President Donald Trump said he will meet Maria Corina Machado, Venezuelan opposition leader, in Washington next week, and she intends to give him her Nobel Peace Prize.

- The Nobel Institute noted a prize cannot be transferred, and Maria Corina Machado won the opposition primary two years ago but was barred from running by Nicolás Maduro.
