Maria Corina Machado presented her 2025 Nobel Peace Prize medal to Donald Trump recognizing his commitment to Venezuelan freedom; the Nobel Committee states the prize is non-transferable.
- On Thursday, María Corina Machado handed her Nobel Peace Prize medal to U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House months after winning the 2025 prize.

- The Nobel oversight organization dismissed transfer talk, emphasizing long-standing prize norms as it is "throwing cold water" on Machado’s gesture to Donald Trump, who has long coveted the prize.
