Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado offered to share her Nobel Peace Prize with Donald Trump in recognition of his actions in Venezuela. Trump expressed interest in accepting the shared award. However, the Norwegian Nobel Committee and the Norwegian Nobel Institute issued a statement clarifying that Nobel Prizes cannot be revoked, shared, or transferred once awarded. They cited the statutes of the Nobel Foundation, which state that the awarding committee's decision is final. Machado was awarded the prize in October, and the committee does not comment on laureates' actions after receiving the award.
