Venezuelan opposition leader and 2025 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Maria Corina Machado has presented her Nobel Peace Prize medal to US President Donald Trump during a meeting at the White House. The Norwegian Nobel Committee and Nobel Peace Center have stressed that while a physical medal can change hands and has historically been loaned or auctioned, as with past laureates such as Dmitry Muratov, the title of Nobel Peace Prize laureate cannot be revoked, shared, or transferred once awarded. A post from the Nobel Peace Center on social media platform X noted the medal’s traditional design and reiterated that the Nobel Prize remains tied permanently to the original winner.
