Venezuela's opposition leader María Corina Machado says she has presented her Nobel Peace Prize to US President Donald Trump.

She did not say whether Mr Trump accepted it.

The pair met in Washington on Thursday, local time, for lunch before Ms Machado left to meet senators at the Capitol.

As she left that second meeting, she was swarmed by media and said she had presented Mr Trump with the esteemed medal in "recognition for his unique commitment with our freedom".

Ms Machado then referenced the 200-year-old gifting of a medal by the Marquis de Lafayette, a general who fought against the British in America's Revolutionary War, to South American revolutionary leader Simón Bolívar, to signify the pair's shared values.
