Donald Trump indicated he will meet with Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado in Washington next week. This follows Machado's offer to give Trump her Nobel Peace Prize, awarded to her last year, as a gesture of gratitude for his role in the removal of Nicolás Maduro. Trump, who has long coveted the Nobel Peace Prize, stated it would be an honor to accept it. Machado, who led a successful election campaign against Maduro in 2024, has sought Trump's support, though he has previously expressed doubts about her ability to govern Venezuela. Trump often claims credit for resolving conflicts and releasing political prisoners, including those in Venezuela.
