The presentation of a Nobel Peace prize medal to Donald Trump by Venezuelan politician María Corina Machado this week has been described as “tragicomic” by former chair of the Nobel committee, Berit Reiss-Andersen.
Reiss-Andersen emphasized that the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded to an individual or institution, and cannot be divided. She noted that other Nobel medals have been gifted, auctioned, or lost, but the situation with Trump is distinct.
“The notion that he should receive a portion of the Nobel Peace Prize, which he has not, was, in my opinion, absurd,” Reiss-Andersen stated.
