United States: The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to Maria Corina Machado, leader of Venezuela's opposition party, Vente Venezuela. Former President Donald Trump claimed he had supported Machado multiple times, stating that she accepted the award in his honor. Trump further said that Machado told him he was the one truly deserving of the prize.

Previously, Trump had openly expressed his desire to win the Nobel Peace Prize on several occasions, but he has now backtracked on those statements. Pakistan, a financially struggling nation, had also supported Trump's candidacy, with its president stating in a public gathering that Trump deserved the Nobel for his key role in brokering a ceasefire between India and Pakistan.Also Read: Trouble for Girish Mattannavar as Bomb Case Near MLA Residence Resurfaces

However, Trump clarified, "I never said give me the Nobel." He expressed satisfaction in having helped millions of Venezuelans during a crisis, sharing these remarks with reporters at the White House. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had also endorsed Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. After Machado won the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize, the White House issued a sharp statement, suggesting that the Nobel Committee was politicizing the issue of peace. A White House official remarked on Friday evening that the decision proved the committee's political bias.Monte Carlo Mens Solid Lace Up Genuine Leather Casual Shoes (201803FW)

Trump had been a strong contender for the prize and actively promoted himself as a peace advocate. He highlighted his 20-point Gaza peace plan and took credit for ending several conflicts. This raises questions about whether his efforts were genuinely for peace or merely for the Nobel. Whether Trump will continue such social initiatives in the future has also sparked widespread debate.
