Nobel Institute says Peace Prize cannot be transferred after Machado suggestion
The Norwegian Nobel Committee stated the 2025 Peace Prize awarded to María Corina Machado cannot be transferred to Donald Trump, emphasizing the award's permanence and exclusivity.
- On Jan 9, the Norwegian Nobel Committee and the Norwegian Nobel Institute said once a Nobel Prize is announced, it cannot be revoked, shared, or transferred, citing the statutes.
- During a Jan 5 Fox News interview, Machado said `Well, it hasn't happened yet` when asked if she had offered the Nobel Peace Prize to Trump.
- Social media reaction included a viral post and Sisson tweet saying `Trump won’t support Machado in Venezuela unless she gives him the Nobel Peace prize she won` as short clips from Fox's interview spread across platforms. On Saturday, Trump said he would discuss Machado’s offer when she visits next week.
- The Norwegian Nobel Institute noted it follows laureates' activities closely but avoids public commentary, emphasising that committees generally do not express praise or concern over laureates' later actions.
- Machado's 2025 Nobel award for democratic rights positions her in Venezuela's transition, while the statutes allow joint awards to up to three persons but forbid later reassignment, amid U.S. dealings with interim president Delcy Rodríguez.
