Norwegian Politicians Criticize Machado's Trump Nobel Decision
Some politicians in Norway are upset because someone named Machado said that the Nobel Peace Prize medal could be given to former US President Donald Trump.
But the politicians say that's not possible because the prize can't be given to someone else.
They also think Trump doesn't deserve it because of things he has said and done, like trying to control Greenland.
The Nobel Peace Center also said that even if the medal is given to someone, the official title of Nobel Peace Prize winner stays with the original person.
Norwegian politicians criticize Machado's decision to present Nobel medal to Trump.
The Nobel Peace Prize cannot be transferred to another person.
Kirsti Bergstø, leader of Norway's Socialist Left party, calls the decision absurd.
Bergstø cites Trump's threats to take control of Greenland as proof he doesn't deserve the prize.
The Nobel Peace Center confirms that the official title of Nobel Peace Prize winner cannot be transferred.
