Why Did María Corina Machado Give Trump Her Nobel Peace Prize?
María Corina Machado dedicated her 2025 Nobel Peace Prize to Trump, recognizing his support for Venezuelan democracy amid Maduro's criminal charges and political turmoil.
- At the White House, María Corina Machado handed President Donald Trump her Nobel Peace Prize medal, arriving in a gold case with a dedication to his actions in Venezuela.
- Months of outreach by María Corina Machado led her to dedicate the prize to President Donald Trump, while the Norwegian Nobel Institute said the prize cannot be revoked, shared, or transferred.
- The White House later confirmed Trump would keep the medal, and photographs show Machado leaving with a red gift bag signed by Trump, after he posted `Maria presented me with her Nobel Peace Prize for the work I have done,` on Jan. 15.
- The meeting followed weeks after Nicolás Maduro was brought to the U.S. on narcotrafficking charges and coincided with U.S. sales of Venezuelan oil praised by President Donald Trump for Delcy Rodríguez's cooperation.
- Facing blocked candidacy, María Corina Machado backed Edmundo González Urrutia as election monitors found her party won while Nicolás Maduro refused to cede power.
