Maria Corina Machado, the main opposition leader in Venezuela, affirmed her admiration for U.S. President Donald Trump, stating she has 'no regrets' about presenting her 2025 Nobel Peace Prize medal to him. During a conference in Madrid, Machado highlighted Trump's willingness to risk American lives for the sake of Venezuelan freedom, particularly referencing his military operation aimed at capturing Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. She described the operation as something Venezuelans will 'never forget.' Trump, who has often sought the Nobel Peace Prize for himself, called Machado's gesture a 'wonderful gesture of mutual respect.' The Norwegian Nobel Committee has reiterated that the Nobel Prize is non-transferrable, emphasizing its status cannot be revoked or shared. In January, U.S. special forces executed 'Operation Absolute Resolve,' which resulted in the capture of Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, who are now facing charges of narco-terrorism and cocaine trafficking in New York.
