The Nobel Peace Prize is a big deal. Once someone gets it, that's it. No take-backs. No sharing. No giving it to someone else. That's what the Norwegian Nobel Institute said recently. They made this clear after a Venezuelan leader, Maria Corina Machado, hinted she might give her future prize to Donald Trump. Machado is a big name in Venezuela. She's been fighting against the current president, Nicolas Maduro. She even suggested that if she wins the Nobel Peace Prize in 2025, she might give it to Trump. Why? Because she thinks Trump helped remove Maduro from power. But the Nobel Institute said no way. The prize is final. It stays with the person who wins it.
This all started when Machado was talking to a TV host. The host asked her if she had offered the prize to Trump. She said not yet, but maybe. Trump, who has always wanted a Nobel Prize, said he would accept it if offered. But according to the rules, that's not how it works. Machado has been in the spotlight for a while. She was even banned from running in Venezuela's last election. But she supported another candidate who many believe won. However, Maduro claimed victory. Independent audits showed some problems with the results. So, what's the big deal? The Nobel Peace Prize is a symbol of peace and achievement. It's not something to be given away or shared. The institute wants to make sure everyone understands that. Once it's awarded, it's final.
