Machado Offers Nobel Peace Prize to Trump - Norwegian Institute Says No Transfer

Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado stated she could offer the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize to Donald Trump as a gesture of gratitude for his support in removing Nicolás Maduro. However, the Norwegian Nobel Institute clarified that the prize cannot be transferred, shared, or revoked, according to the Foundation's statutes. Trump, who has previously expressed his desire to receive the Nobel Prize, stated he would be honored to accept it if offered by Machado. Machado was barred from running in the Venezuelan presidential elections but supported a candidate widely believed to have won the election.
