Organisers clarify award ‘cannot be revoked, shared or transferred’ after Venezuelan opposition leader’s comments
The organisers of the Nobel peace prize have said it “cannot be revoked, shared or transferred” after Venezuela’s opposition leader, María Corina Machado, said she wanted to give her award to Donald Trump.
When Machado was named Nobel laureate in October, it was seen as a snub by the White House, despite Machado rushing to dedicate the prize to the US president and his “decisive support of our cause”.
Trump has made no secret of his strongly held desire to be awarded the Nobel peace prize, the winner of which is selected by an independent five-person committee in Oslo.
You really think that would’ve been her cause had the 2024 election gone a different way?
She’s been clear about this for more than a decade now and spent much of the last few years even before 2024 praising Trump, Milei and friends so yes.
