Former US President Donald Trump has indicated his willingness to accept a Nobel Peace Prize from Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, stating it would be a "great honor." This comes as Machado, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2025 for her unwavering efforts to promote democratic rights and a peaceful transition in Venezuela, has reportedly expressed a desire to share or dedicate her award to Trump. She won the prestigious prize for her tireless work against authoritarianism in her home country and advocating for free and fair elections. However, the Norwegian Nobel Institute, the secretariat for the Nobel Committee, has clarified that a Nobel Peace Prize cannot be transferred or revoked once it has been awarded. While laureates are free to dispose of the prize money as they see fit, the prize itself remains permanently associated with the original recipient. Trump confirmed he plans to meet with Machado in Washington next week, marking their first direct interaction. This development follows a period where Trump had dismissed Machado's leadership potential in Venezuela, suggesting she lacked sufficient support or respect within the country. Reports had also suggested that Machado's acceptance of the Nobel Prize, an award Trump has long coveted and believes he deserves, might have influenced his reluctance to back her, though he denied such claims.
