María Machado Awarded Nobel Peace Prize, Ends Trump’s Desperate Bid

María Machado Awarded Nobel Peace Prize, Ends Trump’s Desperate Bid
In a dramatic blow to his long-standing ambitions, Donald Trump’s 2025 Nobel Peace Prize hopes have ended in defeat. Despite relentless self-promotion and bold claims of bringing peace to global conflicts, the Nobel Committee passed over the former U.S. President. Instead, the prize went to Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado, honored for her fight for democracy against authoritarian rule — a decision many view as a pointed rejection of Trump’s campaign for global recognition.
