Venezuelan Opposition leader Maria Corina Machado has offered to share her Nobel Peace Prize with U.S. President Donald Trump, and the President indicated she might give him her award when they meet.
Mr. Trump will meet Ms. Machado in Washington next week, he said on Thursday (January 8, 2026), adding that she intends to give him her Nobel Peace Prize, which he has long coveted.

Referring to Ms. Machado’s offering, Mr. Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity in an interview, “I understand she wants to do that. That would be a great honour.”
In Oslo, the Nobel Institute stressed the prize cannot be transferred from one person to another.
