The Norwegian Nobel Institute has stated that a Nobel Peace Prize cannot be shared or transferred after it's awarded, responding to suggestions that Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado might share her prize with former U.S. President Donald Trump. Machado had expressed interest in giving the award to Trump in recognition of his actions regarding Venezuela, specifically the capture of Nicolás Maduro. Trump stated he would be honored to receive the prize. Machado secretly traveled to Norway to accept the award, dedicating it to Trump for his actions in Venezuela. The Nobel Institute clarified that once a prize is announced, the decision is final and cannot be altered.
