Trump says he’d accept Nobel Prize from winner Machado. It doesn’t work like that

Washington: US President Donald Trump said he would accept the Nobel Peace Prize if this year’s prize winner, María Corina Machado, offered it to him when she meets with him next week, but Nobel officials quickly announced that the prize may not be shared or transferred.

“Once a Nobel Prize is announced, it cannot be revoked, shared or transferred to others,” the Norwegian Nobel Committee and the Norwegian Nobel Institute said. “The decision is final and stands for all time.”

“I understand she’s coming in next week sometime, and I look forward to saying hello to her,” Trump said of the Venezuelan opposition leader during an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity.

Trump added that he had heard Machado wants to give him the prize, and that it would be “a great honour”.
