"I presented the President of the United States the medal, the peace, the Nobel peace prize"
"The Nobel committee has repeatedly said the prize is not transferable."
Maria Corina Machado, a Venezuelan opposition leader, met with President Donald Trump at the White House on January 15, 2026, and presented her Nobel Peace Prize medal to him. The presentation was made publicly and circulated on social media. The Nobel Committee maintains that Nobel Peace Prizes and medals are not transferable and has reiterated that position. The exchange has drawn attention because of the committee's transferability rule and the high-profile participants. Additional details and developments are expected to emerge as observers and officials provide further information.
