Machado Offers Nobel Peace Prize to Trump
María Corina Machado, a Nobel Prize winner from Venezuela, said she wants to share her prize with US President Donald Trump.
The Nobel Committee said this isn't possible because the prize can't be shared or given to someone else.
Trump is okay with the idea and will talk about it when Machado visits him next week.
This is happening while there's a lot of tension between the US and Venezuela, especially after their former president, Nicolas Maduro, was captured and brought to the US.
Trump thinks he deserves a Nobel Prize for his work in Venezuela, and he's not sure if Machado has enough support to lead the country.
Machado is coming to the US to meet Trump and show respect to the country.
Nobel Laureate María Corina Machado offered to share her Peace Prize with US President Donald Trump.
The Nobel Committee clarified that the prize cannot be transferred or shared.
Trump will discuss the offer during Machado's visit to the US next week.
US-Venezuela tensions are high following the capture of former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
