WATCH: Opposition leader Machado praises Trump, says Venezuelans want to ‘share’ her Nobel Peace Prize with him

January 6, 2026

María Corina Machado said in an interview on “Hannity” tonight that she dedicated her Nobel Peace Prize to Trump as soon as she learned she had been awarded it, saying she believed in him even more after Trump’s capture of Maduro.

Machado said that she hopes to return to Venezuela as soon as possible but that for now she thinks she is more useful to her cause in exile.

Asked whether she had offered to give Trump the prize, Machado said: “It hasn’t happened yet, but I’d certainly love to be able to personally tell him that we believe — the Venezuelan people, because this is a prize of the Venezuelan people — certainly want to give it to him and share it with him.”

Machado also warned international leaders about trusting Delcy Rodríguez, Venezuela’s interim leader. Machado said that Rodríguez was “one of the main architects of torture, persecution, corruption, narco-trafficking” in Venezuela.

She is also an ally of Russia, China, and Iran, Machado said.
