""I certainly would love to be able to personally tell him that we believe - the Venezuelan people, because this is a prize of the Venezuelan people - certainly want to, to give it to him and share it with him," Machado told Fox News host Sean Hannity on Monday. "What he has done is historic. It's a huge step towards a democratic transition.""
"Machado dedicated the prize to Trump, along with the people of Venezuela, shortly after it was announced. Trump has coveted and has openly campaigned for winning the Nobel Prize himself since his return to office. He's called Machado a "very nice woman" but said she doesn't currently have the support within Venezuela to govern. He told Hannity on Thursday that Machado plans to visit next week and referred to a potential Peace Prize offering as a "great honor.""
The Norwegian Nobel Institute states that the Nobel Peace Prize cannot be revoked, transferred, or shared once announced and that the decision is final. Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado expressed a desire to give or share her recent prize with U.S. President Donald Trump, praising his role in the operation to capture Nicolás Maduro. Maduro faces drug trafficking charges in New York. Machado dedicated the prize to Trump and the people of Venezuela. Trump has publicly sought the Nobel, backed acting President Delcy Rodríguez for governing Venezuela, and said Machado lacks current domestic support. Machado plans to visit next week.
