The Venezuelan opposition leader, on behalf of her people, gave the president her Nobel Peace Prize. Not a replica. The real thing. Since the meeting was purposely kept private, I wasn't sure that a photo would surface, but one got out, and as of late Thursday night, both the White House and Machado have shared it on social media.

Trump also mentioned the meeting on Truth Social. "It was my Great Honor to meet María Corina Machado, of Venezuela, today," he wrote. "She is a wonderful woman who has been through so much. María presented me with her Nobel Peace Prize for the work I have done. Such a wonderful gesture of mutual respect. Thank you María!"

If you'll note in the photo, the medal is framed with an inscription that reads:

To President Donald J. Trump

In gratitude for your extraordinary leadership in promoting peace through strength, advancing diplomacy, and defending freedom and prosperity.

The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize Medal awarded to María Corina Machado

Presented as a personal symbol of gratitude on behalf of the Venezuelan people, in recognition of President Trump's principled and decisive action to secure a free Venezuela.

The courage of America and of its President Donald J. Trump, will never be forgotten by the Venezuelan people.
