Jan. 9 (UPI) -- Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado will meet with President Donald Trump next week and said he would accept her Nobel Peace Prize.

Machado -- the most recent recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize -- told Fox News host Sean Hannity earlier this week that she wanted to give her prize to the president.

Trump said he would be honored to accept it from her.

"I've stopped eight wars," The Hill reported Trump said. "I think it's been a major embarrassment to Norway. Now, I don't know what Norway has to do with it but that's where the committee is located, a lot of Norwegian people."
