US President Donald Trump has accepted an offer from Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado to take possession of her recently awarded Nobel Peace Prize, according to a recent White House interview. Trump expressed his enthusiasm for meeting with Machado next week, stating that he "looks forward to saying hello" to her.
When asked about Machado's offer, Trump confirmed that she had indeed extended the prize to him, although it is unclear whether he has actually accepted the award. The President claimed that not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize was a "major embarrassment" to Norway and that he "ended eight wars," a statement widely regarded as false.
The decision to accept Machado's offer appears to be in line with Trump's long-held desire for a Nobel Peace Prize, which was reportedly a major factor in his refusal to support her bid to lead Venezuela following the capture of President Nicolás Maduro. In contrast, Machado praised Trump for his intervention in Venezuela and offered him her Nobel Prize as a gesture of respect.
According to White House insiders quoted by the Washington Post earlier this month, Trump's decision not to support Machado was motivated by his desire for the Nobel Peace Prize, with one insider stating that if she had declined the offer, she would be the "president of Venezuela today."

can you believe this? so trump wants a nobel peace prize just because he thinks it's cool now. newsflash don't accept something just cuz u r desperate for some validation. what's next? is he gonna say thanks but no thanks to the state department too? 
and btw, did machado really think accepting a nobel peace prize would make trump change his mind about venezuela? i mean, we all know trump doesn't care about anyone or anything except himself 
, can you believe this?! So Trump is basically taking away a Nobel Peace Prize from a woman who's actually doing some good in Venezuela 
. I mean, Machado has been a thorn in Maduro's side and has been advocating for peace and democracy in that country. But nope, Trump just waltzes in and grabs the prize for himself 
.
.
. This whole situation is just so... Trump 
.
This is a total joke, right? The guy who refused to acknowledge the severity of climate change and basically tore apart international relations as President is now trying to claim a Nobel Peace Prize? 
The fact that he's using her Nobel Peace Prize as some sort of ego-stroking trophy is just sad. And let's not forget, the guy who's been making headlines with his inflammatory rhetoric and divisive policies is now trying to play the victim and claim that not getting a Nobel Peace Prize was an "embarrassment"? 
. But hey, if Machado wants to throw her Nobel Prize at him like its going out of style, who am i to judge?
. It's quite interesting how Trump has accepted Machado's offer without explicitly saying so himself. I wonder what his real intentions are...
!! he seems so excited to meet her next week and i love how machado is showing respect to him, it's like she's saying "hey trump we value you too even if you didnt support me" 
what do u guys think about this??
I mean, who would've thought that Trump would take up the prize from someone he didn't even support in the past?
