Machado gives Nobel medal to Trump amid Venezuela tensions
Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado presented her 2025 Nobel Peace Prize medal to Donald Trump at the White House Thursday, calling it a gesture of “mutual respect.”
Trump continues to back Maduro’s VP Delcy Rodríguez over Machado, tied to US oil interests. The meeting coincided with US moves to control Venezuela’s oil, including the sixth tanker seizure and a $500m sale. Machado was greeted by jubilant supporters afterward.
