Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado says she presented her Nobel Peace Prize medal to President Donald Trump.
Overnight, the White House released a photo of Venezuelan opposition leader
Maria Corina Machado presenting President Trump with her Nobel Peace Prize medal.
White House officials say he plans to keep the medal, an honor that he has coveted.
Two leaders are battling for control over the Venezuela's future
and for President Trump's favor, Machado and Delce Rodriguez.
Now, Rodriguez was Nicolás Maduro's second in command and took over
as acting president when the U.S. ousted him.
