Nobel Institute says Peace Prize cannot be transferred after Machado suggestion
WASHINGTON — The Norwegian Nobel Institute has rejected suggestions by Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado that she could give or share her recently awarded Nobel Peace Prize with U.S. President Donald Trump, saying the prize cannot be transferred, shared or revoked once it has been announced. The institute’s statement Friday reaffirmed that once the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded, the decision is final under the prize’s statutes and cannot be altered in any way. Machado, who won the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize for her work promoting democratic rights and a peaceful transition in Venezuela, previously said she would like to “give” or “share” the honour with Trump in recognition of what she described as his role in the U.S. operation that led to the capture of...

The demonstrations come amid mounting political tensions, with Iran’s parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf warning that U.S. and Israeli forces would be considered “legitimate targets” if Washington carries out threats of military action...
