Details: President Trump said he would accept the Nobel Peace Prize if this year’s laureate, Venezuelan opposition activist Maria Corina Machado, offered it to him during a meeting next week. But representatives of the Nobel committee quickly announced on Friday that the prize cannot be divided or transferred.

“Once the Nobel Prize has been announced, it cannot be revoked, divided or transferred to others. The decision is final and remains in force forever,” the Norwegian Nobel Committee and the Norwegian Nobel Institute said on Friday.
The day before, in an interview with Fox News, Trump said that he had heard that Machado wanted to present him with the award and that it would be a “great honor.”
“I understand that she will come next week, and I look forward to meeting her,” the US president said.
We will remind: The media previously reported that Trump refused to support the leader of Venezuela’s democratic opposition, Maria Corina Machado, in particular because of her decision to accept the Nobel Peace Prize.
The media also wrote that the CIA advised Trump to support Maduro’s ally instead of the opposition in Venezuela.
