Officials did not disclose what was discussed during Machado\u2019s meeting with Trump, and it remains unclear whether a potential transition of power was addressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The meeting followed recent shifts in U.S.\u2013Venezuela relations after U.S. forces captured Nicol\u00e1s Maduro and his wife during an operation in Venezuela. Since then, the Trump administration has opened dialogue with Delcy Rodr\u00edguez, who had served as Maduro\u2019s vice president. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Machado was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in October for her fight for democracy, according to the Norwegian Nobel Institute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe facts are clear and well established,\u201d the institute said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nobelpeaceprize.org\/press\/press-releases\/a-nobel-prize-cannot-be-revoked-shared-or-transferred#:~:text=The%20Norwegian%20Nobel%20Committee%20and,shared%2C%20or%20transferred%20to%20others.\">statement<\/a> last week. \u201cOnce a Nobel Prize is announced, it cannot be revoked, shared, or transferred to others.
