The White House reacted sharply after Venezuelan pro-democracy activist Maria Corina Machado won the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize – an accolade Donald Trump had claimed for himself with a frantic campaign built, as in the case of the India-Pakistan conflict, on false claims of stopping wars.
“Once again, the Nobel Committee has proved they place politics over peace,” White House spokesperson Steven Cheung said Friday evening, “(But) President Trump will continue making peace deals, ending wars, and saving lives. He has the heart of a humanitarian, and there will never be anyone like him who can move mountains with the sheer force of his will.”
Trump himself has yet to comment. But a rant is expected soon.
