The White House criticized the Nobel Committee after Venezuelan activist Maria Corina Machado won the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize instead of Donald Trump. Spokesperson Steven Cheung claimed the committee "place politics over peace," while Trump remained silent, though an angry response is anticipated. The 58-year-old opposition leader, who spent months hiding from death threats, was honored as a unifying figure against Venezuela's brutal authoritarian state. Committee chair Jorgen Watne Frydnes emphasized past winners' "courage and integrity" when addressing Trump's omission. Trump had falsely claimed settling India-Pakistan conflicts and brokering peace deals, though Russia's Ukraine war continues and India firmly rejected his involvement in Operation Sindoor's aftermath.
