Venezuela and U.S. Foreign Policy

Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado, who this month received the Nobel Peace Prize, traveled to Washington and publicly presented her Nobel medal to President Trump, saying she wanted to "share" or give him the prize in recognition of his role in actions against Nicolás Maduro. The Norwegian Nobel Institute and the Nobel Foundation promptly issued formal reminders that Nobel Prizes cannot be revoked, shared, transferred, or symbolically passed on, even as the White House praised Trump as deserving of the honor.
