The White House has sharply criticized the Nobel Committee for awarding the 2025 Peace Prize to Venezuelan pro-democracy activist Maria Corina Machado instead of Donald Trump. Spokesperson Steven Cheung claimed the committee "places politics over peace," while Trump had previously claimed credit for resolving multiple international conflicts, including between India and Pakistan, assertions that India has explicitly denied. Machado was recognized for her courage in standing against Venezuela's authoritarian regime despite threats to her life.
