'I was impressed by him…': Venezuela’s Machado gives Peace Prize medal to Trump; Nobel panel warns

Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado made international headlines after presenting her 2025 Nobel Peace Prize medal to US President Donald Trump at the White House in a symbolic gesture recognising what she called his support for Venezuelan freedom. Trump praised the moment as a 'wonderful gesture of mutual respect.' However, Nobel Committee quickly clarified that the Nobel Peace Prize title itself cannot be transferred, shared, or revoked — even if the physical medal changes hands.
