María Corina Machado met with President Donald Trump at the White House, presenting her Nobel Peace Prize medal in recognition of his support for Venezuelan freedom.
Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado met with U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House on Thursday, presenting him with her Nobel Peace Prize medal as a symbolic gesture recognizing his support for Venezuelan freedom.
"María presented me with her Nobel Peace Prize for the work I have done. Such a wonderful gesture of mutual respect," Trump stated on social media.
The Norwegian Nobel Institute clarified that while the physical medal can change ownership, the title of Nobel Peace Prize laureate remains with the original recipient.
During their meeting, Machado and Trump discussed Venezuela's political future following the recent capture of former President Nicolás Maduro. Despite Machado's efforts to gain U.S. backing for her leadership, Trump has expressed support for acting President Delcy Rodríguez, citing her cooperation with U.S. interests.
Machado described the meeting as "extraordinary" and emphasized the need for rebuilding institutions and protecting human rights in Venezuela.
The U.S. continues to navigate its role in Venezuela's political transition, balancing support for democratic processes with strategic interests in the region.
