Overview
- Trump told Fox News it would be a “great honor” to accept recognition from María Corina Machado and said he expects to see her in Washington next week.
- Machado won the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize, dedicated it to Trump, and has said she wants to share the honor with him.
- The Nobel Peace Prize cannot be formally transferred to another person, so any gesture by Machado would be purely symbolic.
- The Washington Post reported unnamed sources saying the White House hesitated to back Machado because she accepted the prize, a claim Trump has publicly denied.
- Bookmaker William Hill has lengthened Trump’s odds for a 2026 Nobel, as he again claimed he “stopped eight and a quarter wars” during the interview.
