Claimant: Social Media
Claim: Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado said she wanted to give her 2025 Nobel Peace Prize to President Donald Trump.
Rating: TRUE
Explanation: In a January 2026 Fox News interview, Machado responded to a rumor about offering her Nobel Peace Prize to Donald Trump by saying “it hasn’t happened yet,” but that the Venezuelan people would like to share it with him. While Nobel Prizes cannot be officially transferred once awarded, her comments about wanting to honor Trump and share the recognition were accurately reported. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
