Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado told reporters she presented the medal for her Nobel Peace Prize to President Donald Trump at a private White House meeting on Thursday, but did not say if he accepted it.

“I think today is a historic day for us Venezuelans,” she said after the meeting with Trump, the first time the two have met in-person.

    I didn’t have any problems with what Obama did at that time. I just thought it was premature to give him the award. It made it seem meaningless.

      Yeah…I agree…but both things are true, IMO. It made sense at the time, and in hindsight it was a mistake.

      Some folks act like he was awarded the prize after the drone strike escalation…which isn’t strictly true.
