Watch: Machado says she "presented" her Nobel Peace Prize medal to TrumpVenezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado told reporters she presented the medal for her Nobel Peace Prize to President Donald Trump at a private White House meeting on Thursday, but did not say if he accepted it."I think today is a historic day for us Venezuelans," she said after the meeting with Trump, the first time the two have met in-person. In the weeks after US forces seized Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in Caracas, Trump has declined to endorse Machado, whose movement claimed victory in 2024's widely contested elections, as its new leader.He is instead dealing with the acting head of state there, Delcy Rodríguez, Maduro's former vice-president.ReutersAfter leaving the White House, Machado spoke to supporters gathered at the gates outside, telling them in Spanish, according to the Associated Press: "We can count on President Trump.""I presented the president of the United States the medal of the Nobel Peace Prize," Machado then told journalists in English, calling it "a recognition for his unique commitment with our freedom".It is not clear whether Trump accepted the award. Trump, who often speaks about his desire to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, had expressed displeasure when it was given to Machado and she decided to accept the honour last year. Machado said last week that she would share it with Trump, but the Nobel Committee later clarified that it was not transferable.US forces seize a sixth Venezuela-linked oil tanker in Caribbean SeaShe's offered to share her Nobel with Trump.
