Following the announcement that Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado won the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize, the White House issued a sharp response. A communications director stated the Nobel Committee “proved they place politics over peace.”
The statement defended former President Donald Trump, asserting he would continue making peace deals and saving lives. It praised his humanitarian heart and unique will.
Trump had publicly positioned himself as a deserving candidate, claiming credit for ending conflicts. He previously expressed skepticism about winning, stating, “They will never give me a Nobel Peace Prize.”
