Venezuelan Nobel Peace Prize Winner María Corina Machado Symbolically Gifts Medal to President Trump at White House

In a noteworthy political moment at the White House in Washington, D.C., Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado presented President Donald J. Trump with her 2025 Nobel Peace Prize medal, describing it as a symbol of gratitude and mutual respect. Machado, awarded the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize for her long-standing efforts to promote democracy and peaceful transition in Venezuela, met with President Trump in the Oval Office where the framed medal was formally handed over.

While the Nobel Committee has stated Nobel Peace Prize titles are non-transferable, Machado’s gesture highlights the ongoing international dialogue around democratic reform and U.S.–Venezuelan relations.

This rare symbolic exchange between global political figures reflects continued interest in democracy promotion and the evolving role of U.S. leadership in Latin American geopolitics — a topic that draws both praise and debate among international audiences.
