- US President Trump did not receive the Nobel Peace Prize
- Maria was chosen for her tireless struggle for the democratic rights, human rights and free elections of the Venezuelan people
US President Donald Trump repeatedly claimed to be the messiah of peace in the world by stopping seven wars, including those between India and Pakistan, and made a huge splash to win the Nobel Peace Prize, due to which the whole world was watching the announcement of the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday. However, the Norwegian Nobel Peace Committee awarded the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize to Venezuelan pro-democracy female leader Maria Corina Machado without any intimidation or pressure.
US President Donald Trump claimed to have saved the world from nuclear war by stopping the conflict between India and Pakistan in May 2025. India rejected Trump’s claim, but Pakistan supported it and nominated US President Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. After that, leaders of some countries including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recommended that Trump should receive the Nobel Peace Prize this year.
US President Trump claimed to have stopped the India-Pakistan war more than 55 times in the last six months. Trump also boasted about stopping the India-Pakistan war during his meeting with the Prime Minister of Finland before the announcement of the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday. Not only this, Trump said that he had done an extraordinary job in bringing peace to the world by stopping seven wars including Israel-Iran, Israel-Hamas.
The Nobel Committee selected Maria Corina Machado, a female leader of the pro-democracy opposition in Venezuela, for the Peace Prize this year. The Nobel Committee said that Maria Machado has been selected for the Nobel Peace Prize for her tireless struggle for the democratic rights of the Venezuelan people and for her efforts to lead the country from dictatorship to democracy.
Maria Machado kept the flame of democracy burning in Venezuela even under extremely adverse conditions and continued the peaceful struggle against the authoritarian regime. The Committee has described her as an extraordinary example of civic courage in Latin America. In 2013, Vante became the National Coordinator of Venezuela, uniting the once fragmented opposition and turning the demand for free and fair elections in Venezuela into a national movement. However, Machado’s selection for the Nobel Peace Prize comes at a time when Venezuela has once again fallen into dictatorship and the country is going through a humanitarian and economic crisis. The majority of the population in Venezuela lives in poverty while those associated with power are reaping unlimited benefits.
US President Trump was left fuming after he was not selected for the Nobel Peace Prize. The US accused the Nobel Committee of giving importance to politics instead of peace. The White House said that the Nobel Committee completely ignored US President Trump’s peace efforts, but Trump will continue to strive for peace and end wars. Donald Trump made a scathing attack on former President Barack Obama, saying that he had done nothing for the country or the world but was awarded the ‘Nobel Prize’ for peace. Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize eight months after becoming president in 2009. There was a huge uproar at that time too.
