Venezuela Opposition Leader Meets Trump to Discuss Country’s Future

President Donald Trump, who lost the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize to Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado, may still receive the award in a unique gesture during her upcoming White House visit. Machado, honored for her democratic efforts against Nicolás Maduro, has expressed gratitude for U.S. support and might offer her award to Trump. Despite her hopes for a democratic transition in Venezuela, Trump continues to back Maduro’s regime. As nominations for the 2026 prize circulate, Trump’s frustrations over his lack of recognition are evident.
