Trump gets his hands on Nobel peace prize | The Latest | Donald Trump

Donald Trump has been gifted the Nobel peace prize medal by Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado. Machado presented the medal to the US President during a meeting at the White House, saying it was a recognition of his commitment to Venezuela’s freedom. The gesture comes after Machado was unexpectedly sidelined by Trump when US forces abducted her political rival, Venezuela’s president, Nicolás Maduro. Her supporters had hoped Trump would recognise her as Venezuela’s new leader, but instead he gave his support to the dictator’s second-in-command, Delcy Rodríguez.
