President Trump Receives an Historic Gift from Venezuela's Opposition Leader

Sarah Anderson : Jan 16, 2026  PJ Media

"It happens that 200 years ago, General Lafayette gave Simon Bolivar ... a medal [with] the face of George Washington ... Simon Bolivar kept that medal with him for the rest of his days. So 200 years later in history, the people of Bolivar [Venezuela] are presenting to the Washington heir a retribution, a medal —the Nobel Peace Prize—for what he's doing to liberate Venezuela and for freedom in the Americas." -Maria Corina Machado to Fox News

[PJMedia.com] On Thursday afternoon, I wrote about how María Corina Machado visited the White House and had lunch with Donald Trump. While I was writing that article, some rumors were circulating about a big gesture she made, but I couldn't confirm them at the time. Now I can.

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.

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.
