U.S. President Donald Trump publicly praised Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado after she presented him with her Nobel Peace Prize medal during a meeting at the White House. The event drew attention for its symbolic nature and political undertones.
Trump described Machado as a “wonderful woman” and said it was an honour to meet her and receive the medal as a gesture of mutual respect. Machado said she offered the medal in recognition of what she described as Trump’s commitment to freedom and support for Venezuela’s democratic movement.
A White House official confirmed that Trump intends to keep the physical medal following the presentation. However, the Nobel Peace Prize itself cannot be transferred or shared; the honour of Nobel laureate remains with Machado permanently, according to the rules of the awarding institution.
The exchange took place against a backdrop of political developments in Venezuela, including recent U.S. military actions and the ousting of President Nicolás Maduro. Machado’s gesture is seen by observers as a symbolic appeal for Trump’s backing. Trump’s remarks on social media reinforced his appreciation of the moment, although the long-term political implications of the gesture remain the subject of discussion.
