Donald Trump accepted a symbolic presentation of a Nobel Peace Prize medal from Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado during a White House meeting this week, though the moment was marked by an awkward detail: the president did not mention her name when speaking.
As reported by OK! Magazine, the exchange, which took place on Jan. 15, quickly drew attention. Machado, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2025 for her work promoting peace and human rights in Venezuela, chose to present her medal to Trump during a summit at the White House, describing the act as a gesture of gratitude.
