Trump did not receive the Nobel Peace Prize - the award was given to Maria Machado

President of the United States Donald Trump, who has previously said he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for his diplomatic initiatives, this year did not receive an award.

The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize Committee has noted Maria Corina Machado - is an opposition leader in Venezuela who has been fighting against the authoritarian regime of Nicolas Maduro for many years.

Why Machado?

The Committee's decision states that Machado was awarded for her «unwavering commitment to democratic principles, her fight against political persecution and her commitment to free elections in Venezuela».
The Norwegian Committee stressed that her work inspires activists in Latin America and around the world who continue to fight for civil rights.

Reaction to the decision

In the United States, the Nobel Prize has traditionally attracted media attention, as Trump has repeatedly hinted that it was he who «prevented a global war» during his term in office.
However, this year's laureate is a political figure who «symbolises civil resistance and the desire for freedom», - said in Oslo.
