"The politician replied: Because he deserved it. It was a very emotional moment. I decided to present the Nobel Peace Prize medal on behalf of the people of Venezuela. Fox News added online that Machado, a long-time critic of the deposed Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro captured in a military operation last month, went on to credit Trump with securing freedom not only [for] the Venezuelan people, but I would say the whole hemisphere."
"The move came after the Norwegian Nobel Institute warned online on Wednesday that the award cannot be revoked, shared or transferred to others. Trump delighted in the gift in a Truth Social post late Thursday as having been for the work I have done and calling it a wonderful gesture of mutual respect. Speaking more generally about the meeting, Machado told Fox News: It went very well. I'm very grateful for the opportunity I had to speak with President Trump. Something I've been looking forward to for a very long time."
