"Machado, the 2025 recipient of the prestigious prize, presented the medal that accompanies the prize to Trump when she met him at the White House in January, two weeks after he ordered US special forces to seize Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro from Caracas."
"There is a leader in the world, a head of state in the world, who risked the lives of his country's citizens for Venezuela's freedom, she said."
"I am speaking with the US government, and we are working in coordination, with mutual respect and understanding, she said, adding that she believed Washington was key to advancing a democratic transition in Venezuela."

She expressed no regrets about the gesture, emphasizing Trump's risk for Venezuelan freedom. Machado stated she is coordinating her return to Venezuela with the US government, believing it is essential for a democratic transition.
