  • Trump, who has previously expressed interest in a Nobel Peace Prize, was reportedly unhappy when Machado received the award last year.
  • The meeting, lasting over an hour, was their first in-person encounter, followed by Machado's discussions with senators on Capitol Hill.
  • White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed Trump looked forward to the meeting but maintained a "realistic" view on Machado's immediate leadership support.
