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.
- Following the invasion, a U.S. military operation last week deposed Nicolás Maduro, former Venezuelan leader, who was taken to a New York City jail, and Machado emerged from hiding.
- Trump told Hannity, `I understand she's coming in next week sometime and I look forward to saying hello to her.`
- After the operation Saturday, Trump said the U.S. would `run` Venezuela with cooperation by Delcy Rodríguez, but sources close to the White House said he refused to back Machado because she accepted the Nobel prize he covets.
- 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.
