After Venezuelan pro-democracy activist María Corina Machado won the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize instead of President Donald Trump, the White House responded by stating that “the US President will continue to make peace deals, end wars, and save lives.”
“Once again, the Nobel Committee has proved they place politics over peace,” White House spokesperson Steven Cheung said Friday evening in a post on X, adding, “He has the heart of a humanitarian, and there will never be anyone like him who can move mountains with the sheer force of his will.”

2025 Nobel Peace Prize Winner
On Friday, the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize winner has been announced as Maria Corina Machado “for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.”
Terming her as a “brave and committed champion of peace,” the Norwegian Nobel Committee said that the Prize has gone to a “woman who keeps the flame of democracy burning amid a growing darkness.”
Machado has spent years working for the freedom of the Venezuelan people, the Committee said.
“The Venezuelan regime’s rigid hold on power and its repression of the population are not unique in the world. We see the same trends globally: rule of law abused by those in control, free media silenced, critics imprisoned, and societies pushed towards authoritarian rule and militarisation. In 2024, more elections were held than ever before, but fewer and fewer are free and fair,” the Nobel Committee said, ANI reported.
