A: Hey Hana-chan! Did you see the news about the Nobel Peace Prize?

B: No, Ken-san! What’s going on? Sounds serious!

A: It’s a bit funny actually! Maria Corina Machado, you know, she won the Peace Prize last year?

B: Vaguely… Venezuela, right?

A: Yeah! She met with Trump and… gave him her medal!

B: Seriously?! Why would she do that?!

A: I know! The Nobel Committee had to release a statement about it.

B: Oh, really? What did they say?

A: They said the medal is just a symbol. Like a reminder she won.

B: So, it's okay for her to give it away?

A: They said she *can* give it away, sell it, whatever she wants. But she can’t actually *give* the prize to someone else. It’s still hers.

B: So, Trump doesn’t *get* the Nobel Prize just because he has the medal?

A: Nope! The Committee was pretty clear about that. They don’t care what she does with the medal, honestly.

B: Wow. That’s… awkward.

A: Totally! Political stuff, huh?
