President Donald Trump said it would be a âgreat honorâ if MarĂa Corina Machado were to give him her Nobel Peace Prize â even though he doesnât think she can lead Venezuela.
Trump spoke with Fox Newsâ Sean Hannity Thursday night about Machado saying earlier this week she would be open to giving her award to Trump. She dedicated the prize to Trump when she was announced as the winner.
âLet me ask you about Maria Corina Machado. Iâve had her on TV this week,â Hannity said.
âYeah. She very nice person,â Trump responded.
âOK, she won the Nobel Peace Prize. When she accepted that Peace Prize, she dedicated it to you,â Hannity started.
âShe said to me this week, both on TV and radio, that she wants to give the Nobel Prize, her Nobel Peace Prize, to you for liberating her country.
In 2023, she won over 92% of the vote to be the leader of the opposition. Maduro kept her off the ballot. Do you have any plans to meet with her? And would you accept the Nobel Prize she wants to hand to you?â Hannity asked.
âWell, I understand sheâs coming in next week sometime. And I look forward to saying hello to her, and Iâve heard that she wants to do that.
That would be a great honor,â Trump said.
He then listed his qualifications for the prize.
âI did put out eight wars, eight and a quarter, because, you know, Thailand and Cambodia started going at it again,â Trump said.
âIâll put the list up if you want to,â Hannity said.
âYou put the list out as a hell of a list, but we Iâve stopped eight wars,â Trump replied.
Although Trump has claimed to have ended eight or nine wars, his claims have been debunked, per the outlet.
Last week, Trump said Machado doubted her chances of attaining leadership in Venezuela because she âdoesnât have respectâ in her country.
