Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado said she would dedicate a Nobel Peace Prize to U.S. President Donald Trump, making the pledge during an interview with Fox News on Tuesday. Machado, a prominent figure in Venezuela’s opposition movement, offered the remark as part of broader comments on the country’s political crisis.
Her statement quickly drew strong reactions across Venezuela’s polarized landscape, with supporters praising Trump’s stance on Caracas and critics condemning the gesture as provocative. Machado did not elaborate on the circumstances under which such a dedication would occur, but framed the sentiment as recognition of U.S. support during Venezuela’s ongoing turmoil.
