Venezuela's Machado Doesn't Regret Gifting Nobel Peace Prize to Trump

Machado said the gesture was meant to honor Trump’s support, as Washington and Caracas remain locked in a dispute over Venezuela’s political future.

  • On Saturday, Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado said she has "no regrets" about gifting her Nobel Peace Prize to President Donald Trump in January, emphasizing that Venezuelans will never forget Trump's military operation to capture Nicolas Maduro.
  • Machado presented the prize to Trump at the White House two weeks after he ordered forces from Washington to attack Caracas and snatch Maduro, who is currently detained in New York facing drug charges.
  • The Norwegian Nobel Committee clarified that the actual honour represented by the medal "cannot be revoked, shared, or transferred to others" after Machado symbolically handed her 2025 prize to Trump.
  • During a news conference in Madrid, Machado told reporters that Washington is "key to advancing a democratic transition" in Venezuela, coordinating her potential return to the country with Washington.
  • Venezuela's opposition called for presidential elections last week, though Machado has not yet confirmed if she will run, while Trump remains embroiled in the Middle East war involving Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
