During a Fox News interview, the opposition leader said Venezuelans want to share her 2025 Nobel Peace Prize with the U.S. president.

Pope Leo XIV met with Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado at the Vatican Monday ahead of her visit with President Donald Trump.

María Corina Machado was seemingly open to the idea of sharing her Nobel Peace Prize with Donald Trump after the capture of Nicolás Maduro.

With Nicolás Maduro out, experts say Nobel laureate María Corina Machado and Edmundo González could lead Venezuela’s transition, though major hurdles remain.

María Corina Machado said she asked the pope to help with the release of more than 1,000 political prisoners "and for an immediate transition to democracy."

U.S. intelligence suggested María Corina Machado, Venezuela’s opposition leader, would struggle to lead the government. But her relationship with Trump officials had been souring for months.
