At the White House on Friday, President Donald Trump listed the peace efforts he’s made while in office this year —something that's become a frequent habit as he appears before the media — and was wistful as he spoke about Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado winning.

The Venezuelan opposition leader was awarded the prize, after she was nominated last year by a group that included then-Sen. Marco Rubio, who is now Trump’s secretary of state.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee said it was honoring Machado “for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.”

Machado, however, said she wanted to dedicate the win to Trump, along with the people of her country, as she praised the president for support of her cause.

“The person who actually got the Nobel Prize called me and said, ‘I’m accepting this in honor of you because you really deserved it,” he said.

“I didn’t say, ‘Then give it to me,’” he added, drawing chuckles from his advisers. “I think she might have. She was very nice.”

He also suggested the award, which has a Feb. 1 deadline for nominations, was given out for 2024 achievements.

“You could also say it was given out for ’24, and I was running for office in ’24,” Trump said.

The tone from the White House was much sourer early Friday, shortly after the award was announced.
