Nobel Foundation says Venezuelan activist cannot transfer Peace Prize to Trump: ‘The decision is final and applies for all time’
The Nobel Foundation said that its Peace Prize was not transferrable after a Venezuelan activist said she offered her prize to President Donald Trump.
The president acknowledged the offer in a post on Thursday and said that he had accepted the award from María Corina Machado after meeting with her at the White House.
‘A laureate is free to keep, give away, sell, or donate these items.’
“It was my Great Honor to meet María Corina Machado, of Venezuela, today,” he wrote on Truth Social.
“She is a wonderful woman who has been through so much,” he added. “María presented me with her Nobel Peace Prize for the work I have done. Such a wonderful gesture of mutual respect.”
The Nobel Foundation released a rare statement Monday saying the prize cannot be passed on to someone else.
“A Nobel Peace Prize laureate receives two central symbols of the prize: a gold medal and a diploma. In addition, the prize money is awarded separately. Regardless of what may happen to the medal, the diploma, or the prize money, it is and remains the original laureate who is recorded in history as the recipient of the prize. Even if the medal or diploma later comes into someone else’s possession, this does not alter who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize,” the committee said.
“A laureate cannot share the prize with others, nor transfer it once it has been announced,” they added. “A Nobel Peace Prize can also never be revoked. The decision is final and applies for all time.”
However, the committee also went on to say there was no restriction on a recipient giving away the award.
“The Committee does not comment on laureates’ subsequent statements, decisions, or actions. Any ongoing assessments or choices made by laureates must be understood as their own responsibility,” the committee said. “There are no restrictions in the statutes of the Nobel Foundation on what a laureate may do with the medal, the diploma, or the prize money. This means that a laureate is free to keep, give away, sell, or donate these items.”

Machado had presented the award to president for his efforts in helping the people of Venezuela resist the totalitarian Maduro regime.
“It was a very emotional moment. I decided to present the Nobel Peace Prize medal on behalf of the people of Venezuela,” she told Fox News later.

Minnesota nurses’ union calls on members to join ‘economic blackout’ to protest ICE raids
The Minnesota Nurses Association asked members to join an “economic blackout” and rally to show opposition to Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations in the state.
A statement posted on the MNA website said the organization represents nurses and other health care workers, including “many who are immigrants or have immigrant loved ones directly impacted by ICE enforcement.” They also expressed concern for “mixed-status families” who are patients in the health care system.
‘ICE should be investigated for human and constitutional violations of Americans and our neighbors.’
The statement emphasized, however, that the MNA was not calling for a walkout or work stoppage. An economic blackout means participants cease making purchases in an attempt to force political action through economic pressure.
The Trump administration ordered a surge in federal troops to the Minneapolis-St. Paul region of Minnesota in December after continuing evidence of government relief and welfare fraud in the Somali community.
Many on the left have accused the administration of being motivated by racism by focusing on fraud committed by some in the ethnic group.
The MNA listed the demands of the anti-ICE demonstration that it supports. Organizers called for ICE to leave Minnesota immediately and for the officer who shot and killed activist Renee Good to be “held legally accountable.” They also said no “additional federal funding” should be added to the upcoming congressional budget.
“ICE should be investigated for human and constitutional violations of Americans and our neighbors,” they added.
“As nurses, we cannot be absent when fear is driving people away from care and tearing families apart,” said MNA President Chris Rubesch. “Participation in this day is about standing with our patients, our co-workers, and our communities.”

President Donald Trump issued his criticism of the Somali community on social media on Thanksgiving Day.
“Hundreds of thousands of refugees from Somalia are completely taking over the once great State of Minnesota,” the president wrote. “Somalian gangs are roving the streets looking for ‘prey’ as our wonderful people stay locked in their apartments and houses hoping against hope that they will be left alone.”
