Maria Corina Machado confirmed the move after meeting President Trump at the White House yesterday, but one former Norwegian politician says it's a total lack of respect for the award on Machado's part. A former Oslo mayor calls it unbelievable and embarrassing and damaging to the prize. Now, it's unclear whether the move will bring Machado closer to the president's good graces. The New York Times reports CIA Director John Ratcliffe met yesterday with Venezuela's acting president, Delce Rodriguez, the same day as Machado's meeting with President Trump.

Bloomberg's Flavia Kraus-Jackson. Now, President Trump has said he would hold off on attacking Iran if the regime stops killing demonstrators. But this morning, an Iranian cleric in Tehran demanded the death penalty for protesters who are now in custody.
