Machado Handover: Venezuelan Opposition Leader Gifts Nobel Medal to Trump in Bid for US Backing

Venezuela’s opposition leader María Corina Machado says she presented her Nobel Peace Prize medal to Donald Trump after a White House meeting, framing the gesture as a bid to win U.S. backing as Maduro’s regime confronts a political crisis; Nobel organizers say medals cannot be transferred; Trump did not endorse Machado and instead signaled support for Maduro’s interim successor Delcy Rodríguez, reflecting fragile U.S.-Venezuela relations as Venezuela's leadership question remains unresolved.
