President Donald Trump stopped to take a grilling question from a reporter who asked him what he intended to do with María Corina Machado's Nobel Prize and why he would want someone else's Nobel Prize. "Well, she offered it to me. I thought it was very nice. She said, you know, you’ve had eight wars and nobody deserves this prize more than in history than you do. And I thought that was a very nice gesture. And by the way, I think she’s a very fine woman and we’ll be talking again," Trump said. After his profuse compliments on Machado, he was asked the inevitable question of why the Donald Trump administration aligned with Delci Rodriguez and not with Machado.Donald Trump Cites India Pakistan Ceasefire While Defending Nobel Gesture But Facts Raise Questions"Well, if you ever remember a place called Iraq, where everybody was fired, every single person, the police, the generals, everybody was fired, and they ended up being ISIS. Instead of just getting down to business, they ended being ISIS, so I remember that," Trump said. "But I’ll tell you, I had a great meeting yesterday with a person who I have a lot of respect for. And she has respect, obviously, for me and our country.And she gave me her Nobel Prize. But I’ll tell you what, I got to know her. I never met her before. And I was very, very impressed. She’s a really, this is a fine woman," Trump said.The Nobel Institute said the peace prize that Machado offered to Trump can't be transferred to another person. "Regardless of what may happen to the medal, the diploma, or the prize money, it is and remains the original laureate who is recorded in history as the recipient of the prize. Even if the medal or diploma later comes into someone else's possession, this does not alter who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize," the institute said."President Trump, on behalf of the Venezuelan people, thank you for this consequential conversation with you and your administration, one that reaffirms Venezuelans’ deep trust in the United States and in your leadership. Together, we will build a free and sovereign Venezuela: America’s most reliable and secure ally in the hemisphere. Thank you, Mr President," Machado posted a day after offering Trump with her Nobel Prize.
