Venezuelan Opposition Leader Offers Trump Nobel Peace Prize

Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado offered former President Donald Trump the Nobel Peace Prize she received in December during a lunch at the White House. Machado linked her gesture to a historical gift given to Simon Bolivar by George Washington, expressing her recognition of Trump's commitment to Venezuela's freedom. It is unknown whether Trump accepted the medal, while the Norwegian Nobel Committee has clarified that the prize is not donated. The meeting focused on Trump's support for Venezuela, without discussing a timeline for potential elections.
