U.S. President Donald Trump is scheduled to host Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado at the White House on Thursday. Machado, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, has been a key figure in Venezuela's opposition but was initially sidelined by Washington following the ouster of Nicolas Maduro. Trump's administration has been engaging with interim president Delcy Rodriguez. Machado has expressed a desire to gift her Nobel Prize to Trump, an offer he has welcomed, though the Nobel Institute states prizes are non-transferable. The meeting occurs amid pressure for Venezuela to release political prisoners.
