Maria Corina Machado, the opposition leader of Venezuela, stated she has 'no regrets' about gifting her Nobel Peace Prize to US President Donald Trump during a news conference in Madrid. Machado emphasized Trump's commitment to Venezuela's freedom, particularly in light of his military actions against Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro. She presented the Nobel medal to Trump shortly after he ordered US military actions aimed at Maduro, who is facing drug charges in New York. The Norwegian Nobel Committee clarified that the Nobel Peace Prize cannot be revoked or transferred, reinforcing the symbolic nature of Machado's gesture. Machado, who left Venezuela in December, is coordinating her return with US support and urges her supporters to prepare for a united effort to reclaim their nation. The Venezuelan opposition recently called for new presidential elections, while Machado remains uncertain about her candidacy in future polls, as she was previously banned from running in the 2024 election, which saw Maduro's controversial re-election.
