A symbolic meeting took place at the White House, where Venezuelan opposition leader MarĂ­a Corina Machado offered Donald Trump the Nobel Peace Prize she was awarded in December.

The move sparked international discussion and reactions. The American president stated on social media that it was a great honor to meet MarĂ­a Corina Machado and thanked her for the gesture of mutual respect.

Machado confirmed that she handed over the Nobel Peace Prize medal to Trump during their meeting, linking her action to a historical example from Latin America, referring to SimĂłn BolĂ­var and the Marquis de Lafayette.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee has made it clear that the Nobel Peace Prize is neither donated nor transferred, which creates an institutional issue.
