Machado presented Trump with her Nobel award at White House meeting

SUMMARY

Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado met privately with President Donald Trump, during which she presented her Nobel Peace Prize medal.

Machado considered it a "historic day for us Venezuelans." Following the meeting, she addressed supporters, stating, "We can count on President Trump."

However, it is unclear if Trump accepted the award. He had previously expressed dissatisfaction over Machado receiving the Nobel Prize.

Despite claiming victory in 2024’s contested elections, Trump has not endorsed her, instead working with acting Venezuelan leader Delcy Rodríguez.
