Washington DC [US], January 21 (ANI): Days after Venezuela's opposition leader Maria Corina Machado 'presented' her Nobel Peace Prize to US President Donald Trump for supporting Caracas' freedom, Trump signalled to 'involve' her in Venezuela.
Addressing a press briefing on completion of his first year of governance, Trump praised Maria Corina Machado, saying that she is 'an unbelievably nice woman' and reminded the press of her gesture to offer Trump the Nobel Peace Prize.
'An unbelievably nice woman (Maria Corina Machado) also did a very incredible thing a few days ago. Maybe we can get her involved. I'd love to be able to do that,' he said.
However, after Machado's gesture, the Nobel Foundation clarified that Nobel Prizes cannot be passed on or further distributed, days after the Institute issued a statement saying that a laureate cannot share the prize with others, nor transfer it once it has been announced.
Additionally, Trump said that he is 'now loving Venezuela' as Caracas has started to work with Washington 'so well,' highlighting the massive investment of oil companies in Caracas. This comes after the US captured former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in a military operation.
'Venezuela, as an example, opened their prisons to the United States. That's one of the reasons I felt so strongly against Venezuela. Now, I'm loving Venezuela. They've been working with us so well. The oil companies are getting ready to make massive investments there. They have more oil than even Saudi Arabia,' he said.
Trump's remarks came as he highlighted his achievements on the first anniversary of his second term as US President.
'This is the first anniversary, January 20th. It's been an amazing period of time. These are the accomplishments of what we've produced. I could stand here and read it for a week, and we wouldn't be finished. But we've done more than any other administration has done by far. In terms of military, in terms of ending wars, in terms of completing wars, nobody's really seen very much like it, ' he said. (ANI)
