The development follows the committee\u2019s first-ever clarification on the rules governing the transfer of the award.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

US President Donald Trump has been labeled a \u201cchild\u201d in response to his latest remarks about the Nobel Peace Prize.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The comments come after the committee issued its unprecedented statement on whether the Peace Prize can be transferred, prompted by an unexpected offer from Venezuelan opposition leader Mar\u00eda Corina Machado to give her award to the president.<\/p>\n

The Nobel Committee has now clarified that the award cannot be \u2018revoked, shared, or transferred\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Norwegian Nobel Committee and the Norwegian Nobel Institute receive a number of requests for comments regarding the permanence of a Nobel Peace Prize laureate\u2019s status,\u201d the organization said on its website on Friday (January 9).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe facts are clear and well established. Once a Nobel Prize is announced, it cannot be revoked, shared, or transferred to others. The decision is final and stands for all time.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Machado won the prestigious prize for her struggle to save the South American country from its fate as \u2018a brutal, authoritarian state\u2019.<\/p>\n

Her offer came after the January 3 raid on Venezuela\u2019s capital, which saw the country\u2019s leader, Nicol\u00e1s Maduro, abducted and taken to New York City to stand trial.<\/p>\n

Recently, in an interview, Trump suggested that he should have won the Nobel Peace Prize for the \u2018eight and a quarter\u2019 wars he says he has ended.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

He told Fox News\u2019s Sean Hannity: \u201cBut you know, when you put out eight wars, in theory, you should get one for each war.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt makes me feel so good. Not because of a Nobel Prize, but because I saved millions and millions of lives, and that\u2019s what really makes me feel good.\u201d<\/p>\n

Also, Hannity asked Trump if he would accept the Nobel Peace Prize from Machado, with Trump responding: \u201cWell, I understand she\u2019s coming in next week sometime, and I look forward to saying hello to her, and I\u2019ve heard that she wants to do that.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThat would be a great honor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some people have since criticized Trump for his comments, with political commentator and influencer Harry Sisson writing: \u201cThis is so beyond humiliating for the United States.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrump won\u2019t support Machado in Venezuela unless she gives him the Nobel Peace prize she won. HE IS A CHILD.\u201d<\/p>\n

And someone said in response: \u201cA brave woman wins the Nobel for helping liberate her country, and all he can think about is how it might end up on his mantel. The narcissism is bottomless.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Machado spoke to Fox News about dedicating her award to Trump, explaining: \u201cLet me be very clear. As soon as I learned that we had been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, I dedicated [it] to Trump because I knew at that point, he deserved it.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd lot of people, most people said it was impossible to achieve what he has just done on Saturday, 3 January.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd so, I believe he deserved it. January 3 will go down in history as the day justice defeated tyranny. It\u2019s a milestone, and it\u2019s not only huge for the Venezuelan people and our future, I think it\u2019s a huge step for humanity, for freedom, and human dignity.\u201d<\/p>\n
